[QUOTE="East, post: 8687214, member: 644796"] The box literally comes within about 6" from the hatch, it's a hella tight fit... But theres some room there. I took out one port and shortened the other 3 so that i'd have around 150 inches of port, 13.5 cubes, 36-37hz and honestly? it sounds worse... still only smashing lows. I put my buddys slot port in my car, its much smaller box like 9 cubes? on 2 18" hdc3's running 1 ohm off my 4500 and it was louder... further from port, less port area, less power, smaller box and it was slamming at 1 ohm I couldn't believe it. So something is clearly wrong here. What do you guys suggest I do for a new box then? It's not that im lazy or scared to do tests, but this **** takes time and money and I've already invested alot of both into this fail box. I have no room to move the box around, and I can only plug and adjust so much on the ports. Only so much I can do without actually building a new box, but I don't want to do that without more information. I figured it would be a lot louder for what it's and I'd be smashing 150's with ease... So please someone enlighten me what I should design my box towards for a good daily 150? [/QUOTE]
