Well i see the problem now lol. That "WALL" is pointed the wrong way lol. Im about ready to put mine in. Tomorrow i hope to have it back together. Then off to meter. It sounds stronger then the last config i had by a good bit. The meter don't lie though.

Step 1: use a small car.
Step 2: cut rear deck to make it a hatchback.
Step 3: upgrade electrical to actually get full power from amps.

lol, Nice work though Tony. Your seeing pretty good results. Glad you are finding combinations that are working now.

hahah funny james, great work tony

You got that right. An S-10 extended cab you can fit like, what 10 cube? And still be in stock class lol. Still under window lines and behind b-pillars. I think they allow the amps to be in the bed as well. Well the closet 3 feet of it.

You can get 6 cubes below the glass in an extended cab S10. And right, you are still in the stock class, my old zr2 did a 148.5 with two 12's below the glass.

We will see what the extended cab sierra will do soon enough.

well i hope to get a 150 this sunday i changed something but its a secret lol

I wanna know the secret....

My plan to raise my score didnt work too good for me, I tried to make a sealed chamber got fit in front of the sub and hold it on with some cheap rachet straps. Made it a 2 cube enclosure, winisd said it would make a very peaky box at 55 or so hz. Ended up having a really flat response from 39ish to 58hz and only dropping 2 db down to 35, then another 3 or so to 30hz.

so then i used some great stuff to seal off the back and turn the box back ported. I took some of the deadener off and got a 153.5. Then proceeded to put the deadener back on and add more. Then a cop shows up. but since the system wasnt on anymore he just told me its ok and someone called. then we just spend ten minutes or so talkin about my setup. I think the new neighbors that started renting one of the housed arent to nice.

so about 3 hours later my neighbors shows up(the guy with the hummers kid). He upgraded his wire from the battery to his amps to 0 gauge and gained .4 db on the meter. gained another.1 folding his seat forward. Then i showed him a few spots to add his big 3 grounds. idk if itll get done before sunday though

i havent tested mine again yet after adding more deadener though.
the 55 looks far off for now.

still a great score that you can be proud of, keep up the good work

thats cool is he going to be at little rock show ?
