Want to get louder with 1 solo x 18

[4x4runner 10+ year member]

I just went to a local comp. Got a 150.7 on the audiocontrol , 1st place in my class. But I think a solox 18 on 2400rms might be capable of more? The box is about 8.5 cubes net tuned to 35hz , however my loudest note was around 36-37hz i believe and i was thinking it would be around 40hz or a little higher. Maybe my box math is off and it is tuned lower? it hits hard and really low, i like the sound of it , just want to meter higher. here is the box below is anyone could check the numbers? or any advice on the set up? its in a 99 4runner

i would look to tune your box more around 40Hz if you want some higher #'s

If your box is tuned to 35 and your loudest note is 36hz consider yourself lucky. That is a very low peaking vehicle man. Does it hurt your meter? yes Does it make anything and everything around your port freq. loud as all get out? yes

x2, I wish I had cabin gain like that.

I could cut the "L" part of my port out to accomplish around 42hz tuning. But i still want it to hit low. I don't know if the cabin gain is really low or my box calculations are wrong, i did them in winisd, calculated port, sub, brace displacement in..

i think for your meter score to be higher you need one of a couple things. more power to move this beast or higher tuning. i had my solo x box tuned to 41 and in my car it peaked at 45 and was 10 cubes gross with 150" of port area and ran it on 2 mtx 1501ds and it hit insane lows and threw up decent numbers, my best was 153.1 in my 2 door blazer
