Subs are not hitting hard enough.

He'll end up with a noise violation ticket, maybe that'll prove that he's loud enough. With my SDS tiles, music can be on pretty loud but outside it doesn't sound so bad. Minus the plastic spare tire well.. :/

but don't you know, rattles = noise.....you aint got a loud system unless you make loud noises...goofball.

Its not as loud as it should be, you stop hearing it about a block away. you should be able to hear it a quarter mile away.

that is sig worthy material right there..lol

God damnit, you're right, I should loosen up some bolts and take off all the sound deadening, hell even the stock sound deadening, it should just rattle so I can say I have KING KONG in the trunk.

*crew standing on the corner, hear sounds of poorly tuned, distortion filled bumping coming from the car rolling thru the adjacent stoplight*

Reeloy: Here come Jeryyard! That fool loud!

Jeryyard pulls curb in his 1984 Caprice rolling 24s: My system beats!

Reeloy: You the shizz, playah! We hear you from a block away…Nobody touch you!

Jeryyard: A block?! You bishes sposed to hear me from ¼ mile…I gots MTXs on 1500 watts!!!

*too bad the crew doesn’t have someone who actually knows something about car audio and proper deadening/damping*

But at least Jeryyard 'knows' that "loud" is something measured quantitatively by how far away one hears him coming....

Yep. Forget the Termlab, lose the RTA, just get a group of poorly educated 16yo kids to tell you where you stand with ur system...

do you want proof ?

I changed vehicles with the same setup, and one flexed like crazy while the other did not. It has little do with loudness and more to do with the vehicle. If I had to guess, I'd say the vehicle that doesn't flex nearly as much is actually louder to my ear. Most people want to keep the sound in, not out.

Yep that proves it

What are you trying to prove? That in the country you can hear a system from further away then in a city? Or that his truck rattles so it must be loud?

I'm not sure what you are trying to suggest here seriously. Can you also gauge how loud something is from a video? I know I can not and I have been doing this for around 15 years.

Hey, Don't act like i am some retard that has no idea what i am talking about. I am not some uneducated kid. This thread is to help me figure out why my system sounds like ****. Which, i have figured out. the box i am using is 6 Ft^3 which is way too large for my subs. Also the port's on the box are ridiculously huge.

I have since made my own box tuned to 35 Hz which i made with the help of WINISD.

Here is the box: Imageshack - homemadebox.png

From your opinion, how do you think this box will work ?

That is the dumbest video I have ever seen in my life.

No, I cannot. But i can see others with one of my subs, running at half the power, hitting 5 times harder than mine do.

This is call "The grass is greener on the other side."

The truth is you don't know, you watch videos and have no clue how one may sound or anything.

Do yourself a favor and just stop watching videos...it will only keep in you a negative mood and keep you form listening to anyone for advice.

Dude I have 2 - 12" VVX Skars in a Pro Rabbit Built Box on over 1,500 watts (actual watts with a strong electrical) in a small Honda with an entire roll of deadener - I understand what SPL is.

You are not as knowledgeable as you think you are.
