well my L7's are finally broken in, but at max volume I would like a little more earth quake feeling. I am sure I have enough power just the prefab box is holding them back. From what I have read a custom box will make a huge difference and I think it would be cheaper then adding another or getting a bigger amp..... I think

I know pound that sound makes sick boxes but since they are on the other side of the country shipping would probably be the same cost as the box.

I am looking for one of the 2 styles of boxes:




I would like to stay far far away from the kicker prefab box style.

this is for my 2004 epica's trunk:


Also I would like the subs them selves to be pointed in like the way they are now:

 

have you ever tried firing the other way? it's much louder.

 

I tried when I had the single L7, facing it to the back, the side and then inside and inside was the loudest so I just did that with the double.

Dont get me wrong, it is loud... very loud but it could be louder as I already have some hearing loss I guess I should of been wearing ear plugs at my old job...

but now that they are broken in I will try it again...

 

well it should be louder not cuz they are broken in but cuz they would be loading much better.

 

I have a Fedex Ground shipping account..the prices are not to bad

that L5 box I built costed $80 to ship to Ontario....

 

Ok I will give it a try. I read in the Kicker manual that after break in the subs will be louder and preform better.

After I try turning my box around and if I dont like it I will be in contact. But it probly wont be til after x-mas because I still have present to buy and the box and shipping will be over $330+ just going by the prices you gave for that box.

 

I loose almost 4 db by rear firing in the trunk.....
I get the most output with the enclosure sitting far back as possible
front firing or with the port at the very back and the subs firing towards
the drivers side

 

I used to work for them and believe you me when I tell you this...FEDEX GROUND FC*KING SUCKS!!! They play soccer with packages marked fragile and they have a lot of thieves working at the ground depot in the west end...

 

What may work in you car may not work in someone elses. Just some food for thought.

 

I am aware of the way Shipping companies treat the packages....
this is why I go over kill with the packaging and get the shipping
insurance....
out of the last 100 shippmemts I have had only 2 damaged
one I had to replace and the other one was very minor but that was before
I started with the over excessive packaging...have had no problems since
