True I heard bread loaves and other baked goods have a natural resonating frequency of 30Hz which will improve the bass output by a minimum of 14.668 dB Yes, I personally prefer cupcakes, I think the strawberry-frosting ones improve my scores the most. Now we're talking.

You said "6db out of 18db", which means you must be talking about the EQ network built into the amplifier. 6db of boost requires that the amplifier output 4x the power. So if you have the gain set to where the amplifier is outputting 1250w and then apply the additional 6db of boost, the amplifier will try to output 5000w of power at and near the center frequency of the EQ. What's going to happen when that 1250w amplifier tries to output 5kw? Clipping.

They are flat out wrong. And yes, it is about poor gain settings by inexperienced users. There is no such thing as 'underpowering'. On average, ported enclosures can be more efficient around tuning. So like I mentioned, based off your posts, put the Dcon in the small ported enclosure.

it doesnt matter if u have 1 sub, lol. If you guys were keepin up with the A team, they just posted a 177 with a single 15 and less than 13,000w of actual power. On their power chart, they also produced a 154.x with less than 40w clamped. It is an extremely modded vehicle to be able to do that, i bet many of you can't do those numbers inside the box itself! Anyways, different parts of the body have their own resonance. If you wanna be a db assassin about it... resonance is what i'd be researching on different parts of the body and try to produce pressure on those notes.

Yea i did not like the MB's test! It had way to many variables! And plus the vehicle they had was a piece!!! And here was the part for glass on the chart that was posted,

How exactly does one fix a drive-by-wire vehicle themselves when it's a computer control related issue?

This is a continuation of my work this weekend. I took out the amps and subs and started off my fitting in the factory carpeting and paneling back into the trunk. I marked off the clearance holes I needed to put in the trunk floor carpet to mount the amps. This is a shot of the panels and carpet in place. Nice and clean I say. Remember this is a daily driver. I use the trunk to haul anything from groceries to engine parts. This is where I wandered off the beaten path. I had bought the carpeting already at Wal-mart. It was like $10 for a 36" x 72" piece. Not bad. Later in the week I was at home accessory / craft warehouse with the wife when I came across some pre-cut fabrics on sale. They ranged in size from 36" -54" wide by 2-3 yards long. They had all sorts of prints and patterns. They even had vinyl. I choose this. Not bad for $6. Others might disagree on my taste. This is the first time I upholstered with fabric. Normally I use canned adhesive spray and layout the carpet. That's it. This time I had to also had to stretch and wrap the material plus staple it. It was pretty fun. I used an electric staple gun. I worked ok. The staples were T50, 1/4" long. I didn't want to tear through the fabric so I used a low force setting and tapped the staples flush with a hammer. Okay, okay, I'll admit it. I was just being a wus with the stapler. It was loud and it made me nervous using it. Here is a pic of my work. This is the finished baffle board. Back in the day I heard these called boom boards. Hehe. Here is the baffle and carpet in place. I ditched the nuts holding the baffle in place and went with some acorn-nuts and washers Here is an up-close shot of the acorn-nut and the fabric around it. I got the amps in place and cleaned up the wiring. I decided to mount the cross-overs underneath the rear deck. I was looking a little busy before, with the amps, subs, crossovers, and wiring. This will also help keep the wiring to the mids and highs out of sight. I love the optics of this pic. Looking through the speaker holes and seeing that back of the front seat gives this illusion of the seat not being straight. Seeing the door frame just enhances the illusion. Here is another shot of the crossovers. Also installed are the enclosures for the mids. The subs are finally back in place. I'm liking the contrast. Here a few shots at different angles. The sound is a little bit sweeter. There's nothing like a little pride to make the final result a wee bit better. Here is another pro for an IB system. No goofing around with a heavy box to get the spare out. Like I said, it's a driver and meant to be used. Thanks everyone.

Oh no the world is coming to an end
