SPL - importance of what's going on inside the box vs. outside
#16
remember, your only choices with a stock cabin are to deaden panels or reduce the cabin by creating a wall. if you choose not to wall, then you need a correct loading position within the interior to maximize pressure at the windshield.. As Less stated, the size shape and venting of the enclosure controls the woofer, its efficiency..and the amps efficiency and the enclosure will need to change based on the vehicle cabin that (cannot change)

the old discussion...
this SPL thing works sitting on 3 equally important things:
box + port + sub;
power you can pull from the batts and throw on the subs;
car, how it reflects/absorbs the pressure waves and the effect this has on the pressure on the sensor area;
I really consider all equally important,
as you can have a panda and a wonderful box, if you are not around throwing 10kW+ at street B, as an example, you are not the loudest car, just like if you have a very good CRX box and a couple big amps, bunch of wire, you throw that on a stock CRX and you are 2 dB quieter.
