Have you found your vehicles peak frequency? Test with different port firing directions in the truck.

hmm. def. something to try. Take out anything that could be an option. what scores have you got so far? are you needing another .2 db or 3db?

buddys wall of 4-15" comps does 149s

You should be well above that. I would try walling it......or be badass and get a blowthrough

4 15s have a big cone area advantage over a pair of 18s... just saying.

It's all in the cabin tho. The same equipment swapped from one vehicle to another can be worlds different in output.
