I think you are right about the rebuild. The design was great but that is all a part of the trial an error. You should be able to get mid to high 140's with those 4 - 10"s pretty easily. I used to run a 95 neon back in the day. I actually still have the HO alt for it somewhere. I had it rebuilt and boxed it up.....It is definitely looking good though. Stay motivated.

yeah im going to try and pull it out today and seal up the ports and throw a 6" port for each side in and see if that helps any. and i know i was doing these kinds of numebrs with my single 12 with the trunk unsealed. and also you would want to sell that HO alt would you if you could find it :) would you?? im no wheres near my goal yet so im still going to keep trying.

Sure I'd let it go. It is a 160 or 180 amp from Ohio Generators. I remember when I installed it I had to use a different main bolt and some washers to get it lined up just right. It was a beast compared to the stock.....lol...I try to find some pics of my setup I had in the neon as well. Good luck with the new ports.

alright swweet. shoot me a pm with the price youd like for it, and i just got done taking the box out and i did some calculating and i figured out i did something wrong as the box was tuned to 42 hz not 30hz :(. but now im going to do 4" pvc ports 2 for each side at 33hz :). should get louder :P.

You may have some port noise if you are not careful. (That might not even matter to you though.) You can also sand out the edges of the PCV pipe to help reduce some noise as well. Let me find it first then I will PM the rest of the info and some pics. Keep those numbers rolling.

Try doing a slow sweep at half volume sealed on the dash with the doors closed to see if you have a higher resonant frequency......

That's why it is trial and error with the box. Once he gets the tuning down those nubers will rise. Just wait it will happen.

and gotta stop alot of box flex which will get done tonight or tomorrow :). and still need to seal it of temp. to see if that help at all. and lay down sound deadener on the bakc doors. theres still tons to do and no time to do it.

yeah pretty sure its the pic it should be 3" plus away. next im going put some 5/8" threaded rod in to stop the baffles from flexing and might lay some sound deadener on the rear doors to help them.
