So i finally got to meter my daily budget system yesterday. Went to comp and didnt actually compete, just went to watch and hang out with friends. One of my buddies had his term lab so i figured i would throw it on the dash to see what she would do. My enclosure in the trunk firing forward and not sealed off at all.

The enclosure is about 1 cube to big. Also my electrical is not up to par either -Stock 80a Alt, 1 run of 1/0, 2 5yr old dekas in the trunk, amp is wired to .5ohm daily lol, Just like my past few enclosure builds, the "Aeroport" is nothing but cardboard sonotube from Lowes(NO FIBERGLASS RESIN OR BRACING, JUST SONOTUBE, NO FLARES)-. Also leaking a crap ton through the sunroof smh. But i think it did pretty well givin the conditions. I swept it and it peaked at 40hz.

All scores on the dash

-41hz it did 144.5

-40hz it did 144.5

-38hz it did 144.2

-36hz it did 144.0

All these scores were voltage dropping to around 11.6v lmao

Though this isnt loud to some people, im happy with the scores, givin its a unfinished build and the money i have in the build which caps out at about $460 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fro.gif.c695f1f814b01c4ad99fe7f8cccadd29.gif.

I think if i sealed it off, beefed my electrical alittle bit, and redesigned and shrunk the box some i think i could get 147 out it.

 
not bad i hit 150's for under 500 but it was a cone area build... lol
...................cheater........ lol... Nice though... I didnt think it was bad considering the conditions. I could get more out it if i finished it but im not to worried about it. Im going to be getting a different car soon and dont want to put a whole bunch of work into it. Next car i will finish the build off. Will be doing 2-12s probably Skar VVX 12 Dual 2's will keep my same SS Ta1.3k and run .5 ohm and seal it off from trunk, getting a upgraded ALT, doing 4 runs of 1/0(i get CCA for cheap), and get some newer batteries.
