Bass gettin' blocked like wuhhh

So I ran into a problem I should've gave thought to before I purchased my system. I own a 1990 Lexus Ls400, a very quiet luxury car with thick rear leather seats, a buncha metal behind that and a gas tank behind that.

I plugged up my sub after finishing building the box, did all the tuning on the headunit and amp, and turned it up to a Three Six Mafia track.

I get phone-like vibrations on my seat, rear mirrors ain't even phased lol. I tried taking out the stock subwoofer that sits on the rear deck hoping to get some air in, helped a little but not enough.

Ca.com experts, what do should I do now? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

Oh yea, my equipment - '05 Type-R in a 2.0 cube ported box tuned to 32hz powered by a MTX 500d.

what we usualy do on cars like that. is take off the rear deck. pull out all the foam and shit out from under it. so it will vent bass better in to the cab. dont forget to put the rear deck back on...

get more than 500 watts would help a lot also.

DO that and step the power up

hmm, I'll definately look into taking that rear vent out this weekend.

500 RMS isn't enough? The amp's underrated, doing 800+ from the review I found on carsound.com
