Let's talk acoustics

So I brought the TL out to work to do some testing. These scores are extremely odd.

NOTE: This is plug and chug. No tuning or seal from front to back. Amps are gain matched from last tuned install... I'm flexing a LOT in rear doors and back hatch.

Sealed: 149.7 @ 32hZ

Driver Door open: 153.6 @ 37hZ

Kick: 153.6 @ 36hZ

Sealed on music: 153.8 peak?

EDIT: Music stays above 152 the entire time on Decaf's version of "Go Ham"

I didn't try door open on music due to batteries needing a charge and ppl complaining.

So now I have no idea what's going on. I used both 0dB and -3dB tones coming out with very similar results. But my music score is way higher? I was thinking voltage drop, but at the amps on a burp I drop to 12.6 and on music 12.4 or less if it goes too long.

Can anybody explain this? My LVL5s were doing 151 on music, but didn't flex the roof. This one bows my windshield so bad I'm considering a stripper pole. I have no idea wtf
