The back windows are all Gorilla taped to keep them from launching. One is currently broken lose at the top. If not for the tape holding them in they would have already blown out.

Watch the top of the window in this vid. This is what they do without tape holding them in. Also that setup was about 3db quieter.

Damn that is pretty bad, with this setup i could at least see all the seals blowing out if it wasn't all taped up. What kind of numbers did the old setup do??

Last setup with the four btl 18s was hitting right at a 152 off four amps. This one is hitting a 153 off the same power. Also this setup sounds waayyyy better on music. We're expecting the score to go up a little after they get broken in good. My score jumped almost 1db when the four sa-12s in my Explorer got broken in.

I made a similar comment in my post before, after everything is all set you should gain some. Plus tweaking a lil bit also, i could see it doing a 156 sealed up. But like you said before this thing should do one hell of a drive by number. Except that you don't actually "drive by" anymore lol, but that's a whole nother story.

Running 8 amps was a one time thing for this event only. We'll be rebuilding the amp rack to hold 4 amps behind the rear seat. Short term goal is a 154 sealed, qualify 153 Bass Boxing, and 135s drive-by. There's still some more work I'm gonna do to the box. Mostly pretty stuff. Not looking to see an spl gain from it. We'll be totally gutting the truck soon to do a full install of some Second Skin Damplifier Pro. It currently has zero aftermarket sound deadening. I am looking to see a decent gain in spl from that.

Wow i didn't realize that it didn't have any sound deadening in it.. Jesus that thing must have sum terrible roof flex.

We're just learning this drive-by stuff. Still lots of little things we want to test as well as several more different songs.

That is a pretty serious number for a daily box that is non-walled, only gonna get louder from there too.
