who said i was angry? ask anyone in the audio world and im like the nicest and easyiest person to get along with lol. im all for supporting your team. but you started off very bad by bad mouthign everyone and coming in here like your" the man" i understand your new and its all good. but you talk and act like you have been doin this for years and your installs are the best( you use to a few weeks ago..i realize now you see they arent) and the fact that at the show we tried to give you box designs that we KNOW work and you jsut carry on not careing about what we have to say. do your own thing thats great..but dont be bad mouthing people along the way when they are trying to help.
The statements i have made about andre's dont reflect their shops as a hole or how much they have done for the car audio community, All it reflects apon is the employee's i have dealt with directly witch are not managers or anything of that nature, & again mearly my own opinions. I never acted like i know more than them, But on the one ocassion i did point out their stupidity in recomending ASF fuses over ANL fuses to run my 5k, Witch clearly they could not do & only wanted to make the sale.
We never edit our mistake out of our youtube build videos everything is raw. We are still learning & know that full on.
Luke & I got in a debate over burping / bassboxing before the competition but i was never trying to come off like i knew more than anybody.
If i did however, I apolojize. But if you people would get to know me a bit more you might see that I am a fairly nice humble guy who is just trying to learn & enjoy this hobby.
I am glad you are not mad or bitter gregger because thats how you have come across in most of thease posts in this thread, I look forward to you getting to know the real me & maybe putting this all behind us in the future.
All I am here to do is enjoy myself & represent the companys that have been kind enough to support me.
If I can win some medals & make some friends along the way then that is a bonus.
I designed this new enclosure in part with rusty from DC audio. I very much seeked out help from those who know more than me. I took advice from you all & tryed to build the port in my designs like you all recomended but it just does not work with 2 18''s in a jimmy there is not enough width between them for a large enough port & the tuning is far to low.
The picture luke posted must have either been 15''s or 18''s in a larger, Old body blazer that is bigger.
Each time, I am going to learn & learn. I hope you all will give me the chance to do that in peace without making my experiances misserable. I am open to being friends with anybody on this forum & supporting them in their efforts, I hope the same attitude is reflected back at me.

Ah, It was a tahoe thats why. Much wider, Yeah luke i tryed that style of port & I cant make it wider than 5.5 inches, Witch doesnt open it up enough to give me the higher tuning i need.
The new design i have is 240 square inches of port @ 38hz 12 cubes net after displacement.
The largest i could get it doing that way in the jimmy was only like 140 square inches around of port, & wouldnt tune higher than high 20's low 30's.

What alot of people are not paying attention to is how messed up and rushed my last enclosure was. The subs didnt even have 4 cubes each & i manged the port trying some stupid theory I had. I was still able to do the 49.1 peak so im not completely convinced it was the port facing up fault. But i am not completely closed off to that idea either, As again this is all new to me.
He is doing that @ 42hz too. So with lvl 5's, 16+v & over 5k power with higher tuning & a much larger port, I hope to god to be in the 50's club ! lol

yes port to back is where its at, had two alpine type r 15's in my yukon on a earthquake d10, 4 gauge runs of postive and negative to a d3100 under back seat to power amp. I was hitting 28hz and getting a 146.8. Was subs up square port out the back.

keep in mind adding more power and changing box size doesnt necceserally mean a higher score , if you can keep your box rise down and get a legit 7 to 8 k out of the subs then yes you should see a significant gain

- in able to get propper enclosure dimensions for 2x lvl 5 18''s box was to close to hatch In my opinion to work effectively.
- Couldnt get port dimensions large enough.
This might just be a hindrance of using 18''s in a jimmy, Especially behind the rear seats. Its a very tight fit.
