Flipping the box

First topic message reminder :

In my truck my subs and port both face the back of the seat. The ports are below the subs, I was thinking if I flipped it around and had teh ports facing up^^ against the back wall it might get louder.

Thoughts?

yeah right spl is like a drug

I think doctors prove that is slightly is, when the bass is loud enough it causes cell damage, the body release some kind of feel good chemical. So we then get addicted to the bass since that is how we get the good feeling.


And BTW Tub, I like the picture of the truck. Get a new one like that with the new logo!!!

Sorry, somebody broke my camera! Hahah lol jk.

As with this and any other sport, competition, esp between locals, will push you to try harder and do different things. Imo anyway

Are any of yall over 145 yet Tub?

That's the loudest score I heard that "team Bad Company" put up at Gonzales.

There's not many that can touch Brets truck period, much less under 50hz.

Until I'm done that is. Haha

LOL Skip your explorer was at a 156 and you sold it all LOL @ 44hz too. Mine was 44hz till the box broke and I had to reinforce it. I say buy some more audio que stuff and beat me. Your truck likes to peak low.

Thanks for the props skip...there are vehicles with a lot of woofers and power that can kill me but with the amount of equipment I run I would say I am doing pretty good for a daily driver.

you guys are banging out a heck of a number being tuned that low. hope you 2 will make finals. i have to hear this!

Yeh I was happy with my 4 12s, they worked more than well. Audioques are monsters
Ill be back up and runnin hard next season.

Brets truck is just dumb, the first time at Mobile One I honestly almost threw up. His and Pauls truck are easily the 2 loudest I ever sat in. And to think there's monsters at Finals that would destroy both haha, crazy to imagine that

I've been in bret's truck I know how it is. I never got the "fixed" 18s metered and they were far louder than the L7s I had. The l7s when I had them were doing a 146.x SB3.

I'm no longer on Team Bad Company and going to be strictly Team Sundown until a local team picks me up.

6 nightshade 12s, 6 saz3000ds on the way. I guess I'll have more equipment than bret lol

my sb car doesnt seem loud anymore too me. does anyone else have this problem? like im use to 150's?

And no... sadly not yet. But I'm trying my hardest to get up there. lol
That was me out at Gonzales, I need a bigger amp horribly.

I wish I could make finals but no money or vacation left LOL. Tub it wont matter if you have more equipment..Trust me LOL...I can still recone to run the amps lower if I have too. Tub you have not sat in it with all four amps either. Way louder...ask Drew.

Thats what happens when you play below tuning and clip the hell out of the signal but nothing broke HAHAHA

Only way I will recone is if I need to run .25 ohm a amp again to get some real power!!!!

I saw that little red light flashing that means clipping. Lol

Strap them at .25 and be a man

Andrew . . . Team Sundown teammate of mine . . . 157.8 . . . 3 DC 18s and 3 Sundown SAZ3000ds . . . 96 chevy full size

Dont have the battery not do I think they will do .25 strapped LOL .35 strapped I have heard works(.175 a amp). .25 strapped would be .125 a amp!!!!

So go buy some batts you twat!!

I would like to sit in that!!

Might put an eye out

I dunno what it would hit then but no money for batts or anything else...Tub what note did he use in the chevy truck?? If you dont mind.

I'll ask him

i think he uses 55hz i might be wrong though

He just did that score at a TBP show, he's been helping me with my box design a bit since we have the same vehicle and all.

55 hz

Ok cool

Peaking in 40's are were the pimps is

His box/wall is tuned in the 30s i think.

Wonder why it peaks so high then if tuned in the 30's...im tuned to 37 by the way

Some trucks peak high I had the 3 18s in my titan it was tuned to 40 and peaked at 58

I peak at like 44, not much gain at all.

Maybe Im tuned lower than I think or maybe its the way my wall is setup....I dunno but I like doing high numbers in the 40's..or maybe other people are tuned higher than they think they are. Maybe its because my box is a little bigger than normal. How big was your 18 box kenny??
