Definitely. I’m currently running 300wrms to each door of my Traverse with Bravox CS603CF components in it that are rated for 125wrms. Brad (impious) was running 600wrms to each side of his when running the same set. The difference it makes in handling those dynamic bursts is simply incredible. It’s so easy to get caught up in all the numbers and power ratings are numbers that people worry so much about but in reality they mean little to nothing as long as a person understands what they’re doing in such a situation.

Funny thing is over here on the SQ side, ppl run 3-4 times RMS power to their drivers. BUT to gain a greater dynamic range in frequency response for split bursts, not all out continuous SPL.

Don't know if it's been said yet, but the comp guys your talking about find the resonate frequently of vehicle itself. Then tune to that frequency. Most off the shelf ported boxes at audio shops are tuned 35-45hz, with a super small port. Because the average person is wowed by how loud it is, not how low it goes. it takes a lot more power to get loud at 32hz compared to 40hz. The 40hz will be loud to your ears. The 32hz will crush your chest and throat, make the earth shake and still not be as loud.

Alot of the big builds are 4th order bandpasses because you couldnt fit the amount of subs and port area they need on a flat wall

Yes they do lol. I guess their like Jordan's of the car audio world

Yea my zv4 crushed lows. Sundown makes nice stuff. Not so nice on the wallet tho.. I sold my zv4 18 for $500 . They hold value well. But the thought of buying new sundown subs never crossed my mind lol

spent part of yesterday putting in the window sills I made, that match the baseboard. The before^ After^ Before^ After^ A sample of the before with the nasty D trim. And with a nice corbel effect after!! Paint needs another coat. I am stuck on if I should do a corner bead under it. Need to pick up a stick to test fit. Don't know that I want to try routeing something that small.

Full tilt on the way to work. No stank! I'll post some updates/pics after I'm off today. Time to get loud! Thank you to my car audio bretheren!

Well is going to be 18's again...just finished box
