Just got my system metered...thoughts on numbers?

[ItsAJeepThing 10+ year member]

Well just got back from my local car audio shop were they metered my car. I have a 15 RE SX powered by an audiopipe 10001D. Its in a 4.0 cubic foot box tuned to 33hz. I hit a 142.2 @ 42hz sealed. Then with the door open a little got a 143.0 (Best guess cant remember exactly) @ 42hz. I am driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Are these numbers about what I should be expecting out of this or does anyone think I could get a little higher?

Thanks

I know a guy running two AP 15's off a "2000 watt" PA amp (he's running like 6 gauge so probably barely 600 watts) but he could only do a 140.

louder than my old re xxx 15 did off an mtx 1501d. think that was 140.9 iirc. if you're doing 142+ then it's a well done box and install.

That's not a bad score at all. I had 1 HDC318 off about 1200w (in a SQ box) and did a 142.8, then opened the door and did a 148.

On the window meters higher then at the headrest typically, i think thats why car shops prefer to meter that way..but its a solid number
