Yikes!!!!

like I said I put in $180 and its perfect. and actually my mom got me the sub for Christmas, so technically I only spent $120. I drive about 21k a year and use the thing all the time and its perfect and totally worth the money and time I put into it.

You would be better off with a small battery in the back. And I was referring to loudness with the seats folded down in mine.

^seats folded down,..?
Rockfosgate P1's 900RMS each and a Street Machine 4kW amp with an MTX plexiglass bandpass box
subs=200 for both, amp 1200$ MTX 200$
as soon as i got the amp i regretted selling my alpines for my 00vi. this thing has a stupid amount of power that these subs cant dream of keeping up with. works pretty decently with my HD alpine radio. i just got the subs for a quick low bass thing. im saving for alpine X's again though so i can get my duel voices coils back

Sweet Jesus. I sat in Filtor1's car and his bass made my eyes water. I can only imagine what this madness would do to me. Turn my innards into mush most likely.

This is my project box, first build for me and iam pleased. Only a light coat of paint here but it will be toped with undercoating paint. Sorta like a spray bedliner look but not quite as durable. top isnt glued here and theres a little more to do, int. volume is around 2.2 and it's tuned around 35hz

Why do you have that extra wood above the port? I think it is going to make a lot of air noise when the sub is pounding.

I wasnt sure exactly how to fix the port opening, like i mentioned this is my very first attempt at box building. I did this in about a days time so I was happy with it... So you think that small piece at the top will kill my sound huh?

i think it will matter that much in the car, just in the trunk.

You should go on google and go to the re audio box calculator web site. You type in how big you want your box and it will tell you what size pieces of wood to cut out, the cubic feet of the box and what hz it will be.
