if you wanna talk about loss an gain i got 3 vids i can show you that i have done in my trunk car its no camaro but you get the idea i hope. the first vid is when i put the box in my trunk an it was sub back port to the side, sub was prolly about 3 to 4 inches from rear
now this is just moving my box an testing man i went from a 140 to a 143 so really i gained a db a month with same box an same amp by just testing an moving my box. sometimes adding power does help but you have to go into building a new box an adding more batts. hope this helps man.
