it get's pretty bad when you realize your sub(s) is bigger than your wheels...

Well, my goal used to be 150, but now it is anything above 151.5dB on linear X mic (Always a Linear X mic, hard and gives me good comparison from my other scores.) the reason being: Virginia state record for class M3 in MECA is 151.5 recently set by an S10 with two kicker L5s and a DEI 1100D wired to .5ohm ported in a wall....

I honestly would've thought the guy could be louder, but I guess not.

But this weekend I'm starting my wall for the 18"x.., box first, going to be slid in through the rear, then walled in place.

my biggest problem is what freq should I stick around for a wall? For rear firing I've found the resonant freq to be 51Hz in my explorer, but with a wall, everything changes, I'm going to be making the wall as sturdy as possible and rid of all air leaks.

The rear doors present another problem for sealign off the cabin, since they are oddly shaped. Any ideas would be nice.

thanks.
