I have told this fucker to face the box towards the trunk because I know it's louder. I have guided him a lot in his build. Unfortunately nowadays I work A LOT and don't have a lot of time but I will thoroughly take a look at it Thursday and see what can be done. He has a stout electrical, but even with a ton of deadner on the trunk and other places, when he fires it off of the trunk it rattles like it's got no deadner on it. I have been around all types of cars that do anywhere from 130db to 160db. I'd say he is doing about a 142db or a bit higher, I will get a meter on it again soon. I do a 140 with a single 18 clamped on 406w, in an explorer though that's why he said he's about as loud as me. but an SUV and trunk car is apples and oranges.
