Improving sub output my Windstar w/ PICS

[OKAY]

Okay so this is the inside rear of my van. Two sq315's on a fsd 3800 and two batteries. This is a cargo van so their are no plastic panels besides the rear hatch which, I have secured with wood and foam (thanks to kagaroo). I'm thinking all these holes in the sheet metal are hindering my output, the bass quality.

I think i really need to finish foaming every panel, fill these holes.

The box..hella box rise. Every amp including my beloved fsd, looks like its on vacation..barely moving the hds315s on calculated voltage.

Anyways..long story short..whether im trippin or not but, i am not happy with the way it sounds and im trying to figure out why it sounds like garbage... Like reversed polarity..phasing..but its not.

Lol maybe the rattles are getting worse from the vibration. Has to be the van.

Everything was booming loud and hard af a few weeks ago i don't know if i was clipping the amp subs temps were fine.

Must i have to clip the amp to be loud?

Imma reset the gain by ear see what happens.

As for the back battery and the long wires n amp sitting there in the way havent figured where to put it all lol.

Lord.

yes it does. Unless he covers it very well. People get away with soo much sh*T nowadays... last show there was a guy with basically a wall (5 inches from the roof) competing in super street no wall while he should have been placed in the wall class. Not supposed to use spray foam but everyone and their grandmas have it.
