What no pics? You got to post more than just 2 kickers in a ported box. Seriously, more specs/pics/video otherwise Meh x2.

Honestly though I can't say if that's impressive or not, my old radio shack meter stops at 126db and I'm not even close to max. Long as you're happy though is what counts.

I never said it doesn't do rated power, I've seen bench tests of them doing just that. But yes they are inefficient, as in they draw a lot of current to put out that rated power (Physics, my friend. Read up on it). But if you have done the big3 already then that's great and is exactly what you needed, I didn't know that you had already done it. I was only giving you some advice to help you.

Not trying to be a douche, just laying out the facts. Sorry that you don't like the truth. And I have a hard time finding that people here dont like me, I have helped a TON of people here with their audio systems. Sounds like a personal problem to me, and if that is the case feel free to PM me and we can work something out.

And hey man seriously, if you like what you got then thats ALL that matters and nobody can do jack crap about it. No offense intended at all.

i havent been metered since one time and it wasnt nothin special, iirc it was like what abervintageman said and that was on a crappy song and not even up to normal everyday listening volume and bass -4 or something. im in the process of getting another battery and more power wire for it and a new box is in the works as well. but on the other hand, i moved my box over so instead of the 2-3" of space from the port to the door, theres now like 8-10" of space and its definitely noticeably louder to the ear.
