    if you did...get a spoon and start EATING!!

    plus a trunk full of yellow raises the efficiency of the system by 20 dbs...you'd hit 150 easily

    Hey you damn kids get out of my jello tree lol..

    Well i just noticed a few days ago that if i keep the back seats up the bass like doubles with less power. Strange no? There is hard plastic on the back of the seats but the rest is cushion. Did i just create patent license fabricate and regenerate the most awesome abc box ever??????/// haha

    Ya bandpass is probably what i meant pedro lol, the one where the sub is inside the box completely with two chambers.

    hmmmm. iwonder if you can run a port where your back speakers are for tuning?

    or even through my faceboard into the trunk lol, they can be removable. Where my rear speakers were, there is just the holes now, i didn't cover them because my faceboard is behind them. I guess the bass is coming out the speaker holes and bouncing off the rear windshield. It's quite a difference with the back seats up though, more pressure on the sub i guess. I borrowed my friend's camera to see if i could get a video without distortion and it turned out much nicer. This was a Sony Cybershot 7 megapixel, nice camera.

    yes, it makes a distorted noise too though like the other one did before it burned, but you will only hear it at low volume. Ha this last coil doesn't want to die and i'm pushing it.

    my ex-step son had a car few years ago and he used a couple of my old Audio Art 12's in a sealed box in his trunk. Not much volume with the seat down and subs fireing to the rear but....side the box back to the trunk opening and fire them forward with the seat up.....OMG!!!! Then we added 2-6" "ports" 12" long from some pipe that was laying around...not pvc .... steel...lol. It was the loudest i have ever heard 12's get...EVER!!! I guess we had everything right...the amp was a old Kenwood maybe 400 watt's. He ended up selling subs , box and amp to a kid at his school for like $750.

    haha, sweet, ya i definetly hit on something very powerfull with the car. I think i'm only running 400 watts into one coil of my sub. Amazing. Now I need to harness this free power lol. I was thinking to seal it off right behind the seats with a big piece of clear plexi so you can still see inside lol.

    why not do that then turn the sub around.

    Hmm, not sure. I'm sending this sub back soon for a recone @ 2 ohms this time and i'm going to order a second 190v2 2 ohm sub, then run them side by side at 1 ohm. I think i like the front of the woofer facing forward, it's easier to hear when it's getting distorted.

    I will try and flip this one around before i send it out and see what the difference is. I know i have a huge advantage with this car having the back seats go down and a hole straight to the trunk.

    oh ok, no i like it how it looks, it's fine, when i do get it how i want it will be fiberglassed or carpeted. I think i have room for two side by side, here's some older pics just to reference.
