crank the amp up to 80-90 percent and do a few burps. That is if you're actually using mics...

Do a few with the windows up first...also turn the AC on before hand for a little bit BEFORE not during. Then do some with the windows down.

Duct tape around your sub. Keeps air in the box, adds deebees. It's proven (seriously).

The gorilla tape i bought at some autoparts store was like 4 plies of duct tape.. For holding in pressure, i'd prefer it over any regular duct tape

dont do it for daily tho.. lol looks like crap. Your high school sounds alot like mine. Dual's, Kicker and Mtx are proven choices of high school audio. Last year my friend had 6 infinity 12's in a wall and just flat out sucked ballz... Lol It might of just barely broke the 130's if that.
