SETUP:
2 FI BTL NEO 18's
WOLFRAM 4500.1 @ .5 OHM
(4) XS 3100's
Mechman 320
(voltage stays around 13.5-14v)
04 Yukon SLT
BOX:
12.5ft^3
(4) 8" AERO 22" (200IN PORT)
TUNED 36HZ
4" FROM HATCH
So my system slaps the lows nice but that seems to be about it... I'm not very happy with it and I feel its the enclosure, my single 18" seemed to hit highs much better. I was told more port area was good for numbers so I went with 4 ports and figured I'd plug one for daily. Well... my system only hit a 148.1 and I was told by many a 150 should be EASY with my setup. What am I doing wrong? My box is really close to the hatch, about 4" away i'd say... and when I plug a port it seems more responsive and slaps lows but I lose 1db when I plug a port. There has to be a way to hit a 150 in this thing and hit highs better. Is my box too close to the hatch? why am I not hitting highs when tuned to 36hz? is my hatch acting as an extension to the port lowering tuning? how far is optimal distance for my configuration?
I want to build a new box to achieve a 150 but I don't know how to hit the highs any better, even at 36hz tuning a 40hz tone seems very quiet, but if I play 32-36hz my car falls apart from the lows. Don't get me wrong I like lows, but I'd also like some head hurting highs as well. Anyone have any ideas of what I should change? Just doesn't make sense, I have a good amount of power, high tuning and a **** ton of port area... Could it be that my box is just too close to the hatch? or am I missing something?
