Lol I have two 18's in the back of a Honda civic coupe tuned to 34 Hz peaking at 52hz with a sundown saz 4500 I mean **** I feel like I could of at least broke a 150 I have decent voltage now don't see lower then 12.6 most the time in 13's should I drop the subs from 1 ohm down to .5 n see what happens??

What type of 18's cause in my escalade I'm doing a 148.8 with box behind the 2nd row subs facing up with a zx2500 but voltage is solid at 14.8

And you mean from 1 ohm to .25?

If it sounds good it is good. 149 and change can feel pretty loud if you can do that along a good range of frequencies. Really you can probably find .6db with little tweaks in seat position, flush mounting subs, rounding box edges, duct tape, etc. you'd have 150 but it wouldn't sound any different banging music.

Dropping impedence will help on the meter too, but if you don't have a few batteries on that amp it would be risky. That should gain you a bit on the meter at least.

Lol yea I wanted a daily set up I could cut the port and be well over a 150 but I want a daily I know I'm seeing some good box rise also I want to drop it down to m.5 and get two more batts

You cant get a .5 load assuming you have 2 dual 4s wired to 1 ohm now... I think that's a pretty good score for a daily set up made for music. If you made it for burps, I'm sure you could be well over 150.
