[QUOTE="East, post: 8686205, member: 644796"] When you factor in displacement, the fact it's all double braced etc. Torres Box Calculator shows 36hz. There are no 45's and it's double baffled all the way around. The output is not NEARLY what I expected it to be. I understand less ports is better, which is why I'm debating on building a smaller box further from the hatch only using 3 aeros instead of 4. I noticed if I plug an aero it plays much flatter and sounds better, but its lower by 1db on the meter. Something doesn't seem right, this thing should be banging much harder I feel like. I was running a single 18 before @ 1 ohm and it was nearly as loud as this setup, I figured I would be hitting 150's with ease with this much port area tuned to 36hz... Not a 148. I'm not sure what it could be other then too close to the hatch or something?
