[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8741236, member: 614752"] So how is the sound supposed to get up into the passenger compartment with the box squeezed so tight in there? I bet your dad has a bigger trunk and there's actually some room for the sound wave to get around the box and pass through into the cabin. I think you're just fighting the challenge of trying to get loud out of a trunk. You'd very likely do better with a smaller box, though possibly just changing positions or aiming it forward and pulling it all the way back will help. You really don't have a lot of options with that box in that vehicle I'm afraid but try to reposition the box and see what that does and if there's any factory sound deadening or steel that you can remove between the trunk and the cabin removing that should gain you some. I'd agree that Rockford isn't building a completely **** box. I'd guess you would gain more from a larger box but you can't fit the one you have so that's not a fix for you. IDK what else to tell you. Throw that setup in an SUV, hatchback, or wagon and you'd gain about 3 clicks on the volume knob worth of output just from not being in a trunk. Best advice I have is if you like to get loud don't ever buy a sedan again. [/QUOTE]
