    System not hitting as hard as it should?

    Building another box is sort of out of the question right now, recently moved and do not have space/ resources anymore. Changing the port hole is still a possibility though.

    Enclosure is custom built. Very possible that something is screwed up with the enclosure.. it was my first. And it's ported. And I studied and studied with the mathematics and calculations but something tells me it's wrong. I started a much better thread all about it but no one replied enough...
