Due to the massive help (more like me watching and him working) of mario (dvlexa) today my subs and amp are all wired in and running. they pump pretty hard after a bit of trial and error and mario also got his system running alot better. so as of today i am running 2x 12' pioneer 600w subs and a US audio amp with a total of 900w running through it, i'm very happy. just thought i'd let everyone know and i'll post up some pics aswell when i get around to it, cya guys,

my sub box it only just big enough to fit under the hatch so i couldnt load it off the boot caz it didnt let enough airflow through! i ended up loading it up off the back window & the boot. worked pretty good and i'm happy with 141.8 out off a sealed box and in a car with no sound dedening etc. also u've gotta concider that i'm 17 and on a tight budget so for the money i've spent on my sterio 141.8db is real bang for my buck!, cya guys,

when i boughtthe car it already had the head unit, front splits, and kenwood 6X9's in the back... i only bought the subs in the box the amp and the wiring. the 2x 12' pioneer subs in the proper pioneer sealed box cost me $480, the amp cost me $400 and the wiring kit was $80. so all up $960. i'm happy with it for that kinda money!

went to a sound off on saturday and hit 144.2 Db with the sportsbak on, the box was moving a bit, my revs weren't up and i didnt max out the volume... full potential woulda probably got me closer to 145db. the best score i got with the original back was 141.8db so the sportsbak boosted it a bit. please keep in mind i did that 144.2 using 2 12's in a SEALED box with standard battery, no caps and no sound deadining. if u have any questions about my systems or any comparisons or comments please post them up, thanks guys,

and i cant wait to go to the next sound off after i build my new ported/bandpass box (havent decided which yet) should be hitting around 148+ if i get it right. thats not bad for a sub and amp setup that cost me less than a thousand bucks! cya guys,
