i drive a 2002 honda accord ex V6 with no electrical ujpgrades only a 2 farad cap. i have a elemental design nine.1 running at 1ohm to a audioque HDC3 12 in 2.5 cubed box tuned to 37hetz. i havent had it metered yet but just from this enough whats a fair guess as to what i will get on TL? its just a regular slot ported box...oh and no dynamat at all is in the car. i know this may be a stupid question but i figured maybe someone on here had almost the same car/setup and we could compare notes...

thanks

Im thinking mid 130s

Also get rid of the cap, it doesn't help.

anything i could do to get into the 140's? besides electrical upgrades. (i cant do any til my warranty on the car is up) like if i point the box (sub and port on the same side) towards the backseat would i get a little higher score?

Fold the seats down and have the subs/port facing into the car if you can.

1/4 of a nano second and divide that by 1/16th of a fraction and you will have your answer.

To stay stock you can't pull your seat out. But anything goes as far as laying it down, Closing your vents, Lay passenger front seat all the way back, trying it with visors up and down, Run the ac before and get it cold, Or heater and get it hot. My car scores higher with the heat on full blast. Armor-all every thing. etc. etc. etc.

Edit: I gained a decibel just by adding one of these, It has an adjustable phase control 0-180 and a couple of other things on it. I just adjusted it while on a meter.
