[QUOTE="blazian87, post: 8399623, member: 574798"] I guess you didn't need the extra power from a 1 ohm load since you're happy with the output already. When I say specs, I mean how much airspace is inside the box and what tuning frequency. CSCStang is a great guy and knows his stuff. I had him build a box for a friend of mine and he absolutely loves it. Trunk rattle is inevitable when dealing with big bass in your trunk. Once you add mass to it aka sound deadening, it will harden up like a rock and make your bass sound so much cleaner and will increase a bit more SPL actually. The vibrations are pretty much getting soaked in the metal and creates a rattling noise, which is super annoying. Adding deadener to your trunk and car doors make a huge difference in sound quality so I suggest you do that when you get around to it. There's many brands to choose from. Just depends on your budget. You might wanna try Stinger roadkill for its bang for buck value.
