The dual system is much louder than the single. The video is a poor show of it, I was in a rush to get any footage before I had to rush out and go somewhere else. If I remember my camera tomorrow, I'll take it out at break and try to get a better video of it.

The tuning is, if not right, quite close, but drops off a lot faster than the single box did. If there was an easy way to take the box out, take it apart and put a center divider in it would be more consistant like the other box was (but as discussed earlier that's not happening).

If I had to guess, this is no more than a 135dB, but I haven't listened to any tested systems to judge against in 6+years.

you would probably hear no difference between dual chamber and single chamber.

^That's possible, but it's a good cure for boredom to find out. I still want to test the shared box on a T/L @ a comp or something before I tear it out. Gonna see if I can make it to the Brampton show on May 7th (not going to hold my breath though).

I went to shoot another video today and apparently forgot how to operate the camera because I didn't record a thing *facepalm*, will try again tomorrow. But my roof has turned into a thunder sound machine that even Disney would be proud of. If you look at the video posted, you may be able to notice that it's dented. That's from 2 years ago when my kids were climbing on my car. Even when I popped them out, everytime I drove down the highway they'd just dent in again, so I just left them. Well, 2 days ago when I was leaving work, I started to here this weird sound when I was slowing down at a stop sign, so I turned it down and it went away, turned it back up and the sound came back. I didn't think my roof was flexing that much to make such a noticeable noise, but after furthur inspection, it seems the roof sheet metal has come detached from the crossbar, so it's basically any sort of flex makes it rumble, as only sheet metal can. Sounds like absolute garbage outside of the car, but can't hear it inside when driving over 60km/h, and I usually have it turned down when I'm doing less than that anyway, so screw it.
