Are my goals accomplishable?

[Kenny Pollock 10+ year member]

I had a single 18" SX in a 10 cube box, tuned to 30 hz in my 96 Chrysler LHS. It looked awesome, sounded great... but I hit a 140.6 at a little car show.

I'm working with Robin (iamamp3pimp) on upgrading my system and trying to at least hit 150 (although I would of course LOVE louder).

Goals: Want to hit 150, keep my back seats, use it as my daily driver, clean install...

Since the box is already in my trunk and fiberglassed down and everything, I was thinking of getting an IA 20.1 and pushing 2500-3000 watts to an Fi Audio 18" BTL, upgrading my electrical system, sound deadening the car, somehow tuning the box higher, cutting the rear deck to ALLOW THE DBEEZ TO FLOW!!!11

What do you guys think I should do? What would you recommend? I was thinking about two 15's, but we want to keep from doing anything too drastic (like redoing the box) if we don't HAVE to.

If I cut the rear deck and tuned the box higher for sure the SX would've done better... and I was playing tones of what I thought was the peak frequency, not what I knew.

10 cubes isn't going to be enough for that though...

they havent posted the deminsions needed for each size,but im sure 2 12's or maybe even 2 15's can be done again i dont know the requirments they havent been posted just yet..

 

[mannyb18b]

2 15's should work just dandy in 10cubes. And 90accord its not a wall! lol

I was doing 156.4 with a custom rear deck. It was my whole port basically. Whole trunk was box. Was in a 1985 cutty. 4 9500 12'S and 2 modded out 1501d's doing 2000rms each. It can be done.

Nice... my trunk pretty much is a bix right now, the rear deck modification(s) will help for sure I'm thinkin'.
