It's a little bit of a misconception about firing back sounding better. In general yes it'll tune lower and load port more depending on vehicle. It's all abut the way you tune port and box. When firing port back you lengthen the wave which depending on how you have the box tuned it'll sometimes will be louder and tune lower then flipping the box forward or up. To compensate when firing up or forward you just need to have the port longer and possibly the box a little bigger depending on how low you want to tune the box.I would think it would meter / sound better firing the port back. Either way good work. I would love to get a listen sometime. I have not had bass for over a year.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
Saw the build in person (Im the one who is wearing the port as a neck brace.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif) I saw the internals of the amp and they are absolutley insane. I've never seen such great craftsmenship on an amp that small!!! Thats coming from an old competitor who knows amplifiers.So I am the one with the Xterra and building the car. Jeff has been helping the entire way with the design and planning.
So i got the Stetsom 4k in today and the amp looks amazing. Even thought it is little, i couldnt believe it. The power this amp puts out will blow your mind. Cant wait to put the 15's on this amp and listen to it. So far it has destroyed my Orion 5000d for power.
Tomorrow the subs will be arriving and we will get to see some real numbers on the microphone.
It has been a while since i had some real bass in my car. Being that i retired from the competion world in 2005 after being declared world champ in Meca with 161.7db in M3 but then disqualified for no seatbelts. Also took 4th place in Street Max 1-2 in db Drag.
Will be posting more pics as soon as the subs come in.

The sub box weighs about 210 pounds. The amp rack is supported in the middle and sides. Also built from 3/4 inch mdf. The rack doesnt even budge, and the box is secured to the amp rack from the inside the box to prevent sliding or rattle. So far so good.is that box going to smash through that amp rack lift? lol it has to weigh at least 100+ lbs.
post number 10 on page 1 shows the batteries that we added.hope you built up your electrical. hell even with 1200 watts in my 05 frontier with the 4.0 it dimmed. did big 3 and got another battery
Currently it is untuned, we are doing that tomorrow with the power tests, and it is already awesome. Can't believe how loud it is with that Stetsom amp.You gotta get us some vids!!
How 'bout now?
The voltage drop is not bad, but soon i will need to upgrade the alt. as we beat on it some more.ok. you still didn't have that big of a drop with stock alt? maybe i may have to get more power then![]()
