So I'm heading to pick up some more wood tomorrow... I am going to be cutting 6 more baffles.. That's right, gonna try 8 layers thick. Its gonna take some time to cut them all out to fit + the sub cutouts so I'll update in a few days!

Soory forgot to tell you what happen when I did shorten the ports to 6"... it peaked @59hz with a .05db loss in SPL, then I shorten it to 3" and it peaked at 68hz with .65db loss

How big is the enclosure?

When you changed the enclosure, how much did your power change?

I honestly haven't gotten the chance to clamp it,.

The box is 10.33 before displacement with 2 baffles.. 240sq" port.. I'm about to start adding layers to the front baffle.. 6 more of them and see what happens on the mic.. 1 at a time

So here we are.. All baffles cut and I'm starting to get sick of tearing this car apart lol

I'll update some results when I get it all put back together... Which might tale a while!!

That was not easy!!! Let's hope I get a good gain.. I'm going to slowly reduce port surface area to get the right tuning.

Screw all the homework I have due tomorrow I just read through the whole thread. This is simply amazing, I've always wanted to get an old junk vehicle and just load it with subs, batteries and amps. Thread of the year?

I don't know, only using 2500 watts, I'm working on it though.

Why do you think I'm not doing 160.

I was just being a smart ***. There was a thread on here where some guy was asking how come more people aren't hitting 160db. When he obviously didn't achieve that with what he said he had. http://www.caraudio.com/forums/thunderdome-forum-members-only/592847-why-arent-more-people-hitting-160-a.html

By the way everything looks great!
