Help to know a few things.

What are you running currently - IE. Subs,amps,etc ? What kind of car ? What class are you thinking about competeing in ?

Exactly. Explain what u got

The car is a 97 sunfire 2dr. I'm currently running 0-600 stock. Running 2 RE sr 12's with a 1900watt Planet Audio Big Bang amp. First competition I hit 142.6 db. Then I upraded my head unit to one that has 5 volt preamp and I put in a optima red top battery. Second competition I hit 144.2

Box position and tuneing ? Wire size that is run ?

box is in trunk with subs facing up and port facing front with back seat down. tuned accordingly with what the company suggested for those subs. Wiring is 4 gauge for right now.

called for 3 cubic foot air space

I know for a fact that I need a Kinetic power cell but thats not in my budget right now, so I'm looking for smaller things that I can do

Try different box positions. Subs forward and ports forward, sealed off from trunk. Or sub up and port back.

Upgrade the big three under the hood and run 1/0 to the amp and reduce it down accordingly for amp input.

Try gain matching the amp to make sure it is clean as well as the head unit rca's to amp. Could try a different amp or add a line driver to up the voltage if need be.

Could also try tuneing higher. Help to find the freq your car likes. And tune 2-5hz below the freq your car likes for the peak to be where you want it.

ok, i'll give that a try, thanks for the advice

Np. Glad to help.
