A little friendly competition

[topdawg]

A guy I know is running the same amount of wattage and woofers as I will soon be. Everybody I've asked is pretty much split as to who will be louder, so the question is up in the air.

HIS SETUP

4 sundown SA 8s on 2000 watts from a massive amp

He drives a mini cooper S

As far as i remeber he had the box oriented to where the woofers were facing the trunk.

1 Supplemental battery (not sure of size or brand)

Stock alternator

MY SETUP

4 sundown SA 8s on 2000 watts from two reference 1.1000 amps

2011 Challenger RT

Trunk walled off with woofers forward firing (back seat folded down)

Shuriken 2400 (Supplemental)/Krank it up 2400 (replaced stock battery)

240 AMP at idle alternator (380 AMP at 2500 RPM)

Box tuning? Louder on music or burps?

 

[topdawg]

I'm not sure about tuning on either box unfortunately. I'm more interested in a "street beat" type setting, so I guess more for music

Mini cooper should be easier to get louder in than a trunk. Extra electrical won't make up for the difference in cabin geometry.

Is your box sealed? It sounds like it is because I cant imagine enough room for four 8's with a port walled off in a trunk.

Yours will look louder, his will be louder.

your Charger is going to get own'd by a dude in a Mini Cooper

I have a port.View attachment 26544741 View attachment 26544742

I guess the term walled off isn't the best. The box is pretty much perfectly fit.

Vehicle will make the biggest diff on who meters louder. No idea which car is more mic friendly on the dash or in the kick....
