Hello From San Antonio

Want to reach out and say hello to everyone, new to forum.

Working on my first custom build. I have modded factory installs and built boxes, but not completely designed and built an audio system from the ground up. The current project must still sound great, but only on the inside. I started with sound suppression and am now moving into speakers etc.

I have always enjoyed quality music. Getting my jeep to sound good on the highway was my biggest challenge until now. Interior db was measured @90+/- going 75mph. No music, just the roar of the vehicle as equipped.

Trying to remember the box design name. The port's area= to the speakers area and length was 1/4 the length of the targeted frequency wavelength. Very big box for a single speaker, but it did get the job done. I keep thinking it was called a transmission line, but google searches are not showing me the design I used. I wanted to try and replicate using 4 or 5 inch woofers and PVC.

2013 JKR. What I am saying is the jeep itself was 90 decibels. Roar of the tires /exhaust /soft top. This is before the music was turned on, 153 decibels? Now That's L O U D! ! The problem wasn't music. The problem was being able to have a conversation. Not being able to talk to my son, a date / on the phone or anyone at all while riding in the jeep. My setup could not have hit 153 decibels, or that I would want to be in a vehicle that was. That's eardrum rupture territory. Louder than an aircraft carrier. Was this for competition? Either way, very impressive.

NM. Looking at your sig, apparently it was or could have been and you have a system that has or is equal to a current state record.

Nice!

Fellow Jeeper here. The crazy Jeep obsession started with a 93 YJ back in the 90’s. Then an 03 TJ in 2008-2012. Now a 21 JLUR. I definitely want to get back into a YJ some day, but am lovin’ the JL every minute.

Welcome!
