Maybe also try moving the amp to the top of the box and pull the box as far back as possible

 

Look good

 

here is more photos of the wire i just recently ran and the box after being painted and sanded more. The amp is on top of the box now and box i all the way to back of trunk just waiting to get on a meter. Hoping next week sometime.

 

Would be nice to see video of it

 

videos dont do it much justice to be honest with you, plus I have it all pulled outta my car for another re wire. I have done a few videos before all the wire and ya you can see my sunvisor flap like a piece of paper in the wind and my mirror is ready to fall off the window but other then that ya videos dont do it justice.

 

If you get some meter time and it's possible try the box turned around facing the back of the trunk pushed as close as you can without the cones hitting. In my Cavi I gained 1.5db just turning it around. Then another db by pushing it to about 2" from the back. Let me know if it does the same in yours.
Cheers

 

so yesterday i re-wired my car as someone was looking at buying it so i had to pull stereo out. Got everything all hooked up and its slamming again and got a chance to go on a meter saturday finally. 420guy I will try what you said as well as moving box back and forth. Hoping to be mid to high 140's. Here are pics of my most recent install of the wiring etc now. Yes the front battery looks like rats nest and is kinda a joke I agree just cant afford another dry cell at the moment.

 

looks good brian

 

Keep it all facing in and seal it off from the trunk, best possible scenerio with subs and port facing the same way . If you do less then a 45 it would be a dissapointment, with all the excess of wire and work.

 

i predict a 46 to 47 out of this car , test box placement before u make any drastic changes to the car
