depends on how much power you're talking. dont need a stripper pole unless you're 155+ imo but im sure its nice at 150s too.

easiest is to just add a layer of sound damping

Lots of deadener, wood, fiberglass, stripper pole, bed liner.

Ive got 4 dc level 5s on a dc 12k running half ohm.. Never metered it but its tuned at 34hz and I do need the poles because it gets so loud (the rattling from the roof) that you begin to hear it along with the subs :/

I had 3 layers of deadener on the metal and then wood kerf cut to bend to the roof and glued to the deadener.

Would the headliner still be in the picture or is it out? Willing to do anything as long as it looks right you know?

pl 8x search it up.

1/2 ply wood all over the roof, try to have straight pieces. Works 1000x better than deadener. spray foam the gaps with great stuff red can.

yeah as others have said with the output you're at you definitely need to use wood and other reinforcement than just sound damping
