2 15" L7's+MA Audio HK401SX+Hatchback=LOUD

i just got my stuff hooked up. i have 2 of the 2003 model L7 15's and a ma audio hardkore 1800 watt amp and a 1.2 farad power acoustik capacitor in a 6.2 cubic foot sealed box in a 2002 Honda Civic Si hatchback. yes i know it sucks to be sealed. i have them wired to go .5 ohms and the amp does 1800 watts RMS@.5 ohms. even though it is sealed this thing slams like nothing i have ever heard before. i am still running the factory cd player, yeah i know that sucks too. i usually kick the cd player up to 7 out of 10 dots on the cd player and it equals up to about 25 or 30 clicks on the knob. then i got the stuff hooked up and i can only kick it up to around 2 dots on a bass cd and 4 dots on regular music. because i don't really think that the glass can hold it plus in 3 or 4 hits the rearview mirror is slamming against the windshield also. the windshield is moving about 1/4" already and the amp isn't but about 3/4 the way up. i put a full roll of electrical tape on top of the car on a rag and turned it up and it made to roll do a flip before it landed. so i am kinda scared to turn it all the way up because my deductible is so much, don't wanna break nothing. well i will get some pics up as soon as possible. i want to get it metered so bad that i can't wait. i figure that if this doesn't hit at least 150 dbs then i am selling everything and quitting. because if my body can't hardly take it then my car sure as hell can't.

thanks

Nice to hear you have it all hooked up but your not going to break anything on your car with taht setup.

i probably won't quit but dammit i have sat in a truck that did 156 dbs and it feels like i am close. probably not though cause when you get so far it's kinda hard to feel that much of an increase. as far as breaking things, haha. i guarantee it will do something to my sunroof or the glass. it is moving about a quarter inch on not even half volume with not even full power off the amp. but i have seen people break 150 with single amp setups so i will keep my fingers crossed.

i will get pics up tomorrow probably and get it tested next weekend so i will let yall know if anything breaks.
