I bet you run Realistic subs or Craig. You can under power them. Not a real sub.

Actually, I run DC Level 4 with level 5 coils.

And you're dumb.

It works 60% of the time all the time. :D

OP, consider aeroports as it will allow you to save some space in your box. I say consider as you may be louder with the port facing back but you may not have enough room for the length of an aeroport facing back so technically a slot port would be better as it can be bent easier in the box to keep your port facing back and keep tuning.

I used to have it pointed at my trunk but no air could get into my cabin because my box is the same width and height my trunk opening is.. and it literally made my trunk latch peices fall apart. so now until i get new parts it doesnt close 100% tight. i got a 6db jump by turning my box around.

I bet you are running power to them. And not some little cheap Walmart amp. Be real you subs take power. Min is usually half the RMS.

There is no such thing as minimum power. You can have 100 watts on it and still get it moving. A lot more goes into this than just amp power output.

I am guessing you haven't seen the video of the A-team running a 15" DC level 4 and WAY under powering it but still getting over 150s. I guess their sub is going to blow soon. :good:
