Agreed, sweet looking amps indeed.

Sean are you a doctor or something? You seem to know the symptoms to everything.

That dash idea is sick.. Must sound phenominal

BTL 15... Nice choice. Hope we see one of those signature 8" flared aeroports.

Id be in. Im looking for an LED voltmeter, this is just a little more intense.

Swift I am also confused..

You said in your original post you have two 12" L7's?

Upgrade the amp and build a custom box for the L7's

Score will be a lot higher if I get those Icons

I went to a little car showoff / competition yesterday. This was in no way an actual 'organized' competition. Classes were setup as single subwoofer / double subwoofers / Three + subwoofers. After going through all the contestants, they handed out the trophies and prizes. First up was single subwoofer, my class! They call third place, at a 136.9db (I think i got this shit in the bag for 2nd place and my buddy would get 1st place). Then, they call 2nd place.. NOT me 142.1db. Finally they call my buddy for first place at 148.7db. So. I go up to the sheet and check my name.. I got 144.7db! They skipped my name i guess.. Anyways i told the instructor of the competition and he told me I can swing by his shop and he will make it up to me. But I still got screwed out of a trophy. ps : all metering was done by an audiocontrol, thats why my number was about 3 db louder than a week ago.

He didn't really make it up to me

How do you get all this money. o.o

Im looking for a list of banned amplifiers for the dbdrag street trunk class.. I cant really find a list anywhere and iv heard that american bass amps are ban in the street classes, but i cant find an actual list.

Still fun, i just need to know whats going on, haha

Alright, so on my quest to get louder out of my trunk, I'm trying to really understand enclosure designs, and how different enclosure sizes effect response, output and other factors. Now I know the general basics, larger enclosures will be more efficient, smaller enclosures less efficient. But I guess I'm looking for some more in-depth information.

Alright. I might even pick up a book like you suggested.. Do you have any titles in mind?

Well.. If you like the way the setup is right now, Id go with about 2 cubes per sub.. So 8 cuft, keep the tuning the same if your enjoying it and yes, typically subwoofers firing upward, port rear is the best in an SUV type setup.

Tuning will be based on your personal preference in music and how you want it to sound.. Iv heard multiple people say they like the sound of higher tuning, and many people who love the lows so they tune low, so its hard to tell you what tuning to design your box at.

Great place to start out is here. SSA makes solid products, and there a ton of people who will help you out with car audio knowledge.

Alright, trying to help out here because I have a 2004 Impala.. As far as stupid loud bass goes, best option to start out would be two 12's.. Easy to make an efficient enclosure for and I would check out the SSA line in terms of subs. Two 12" Xcons would do some work in that car for sure. Ill add you as a friend, lots easier to talk that way.

Take a guess whats in the box. If anyone guesses right ill post up the pictures of inside.. Ill give you a hint, they're very sexy.

There the shops speakers, not mine, so dont be spreading rumors. ^^

Alright.. You guys got it. Sean ruined my fun by already posting a pic.

Close sir.

You are incorrect sir.
