So I just setup my first personal system. Its sitting in a 1997 Ford ranger ex-cab. Back jump seats removed and I built a frame for the box to sit on. The front is a pair of Kappa perfect 6.5's and the rears are kappa 5.25's powered by an alphasonik pma4150. The back consists of Three Type-R 12's 4ohm, dvc. They are pushed by a Power Acoustik Bamf-4000. I know its nothing special by any means but its a decent amp for the price. 0ga front to rear, and a second battery. The problem is my friends honda civic is louder than my truck. He is only running 2 of the same subs on an alpine v12 and it just hits so hard. Both are in ported boxes, his is 1.69 cubs per chamber and mine is 1.75. Here is a link to my box:

SQP312 - Ground Shaker 12" Triple Ported Box

Here is his:

Is it the box that is the killer factor in these builds why his is louder than mine? He had a termlab on his a while back in his old bandpass and hit 142, and this new box I built for him is considerabally louder on a few notes. He has to be hitting 145ish. I feel like im only hitting 135-140?

Any help? Im about to say F it and sell them and buy a zx2500 and a re xxx.

 
The box is everything if youre trying to get more output. That is if youre powering them properly etc. I would ask around for box designs or give someone here your max dimensions and a few bucks and youll have a box that destroys.
