Well i am Liam from England been into car audio for 4 years now i have had the car from standard to what it looks like today all work has been done/paid for by me. The main aim for the car was a streetbasser that competes in propper droppers which is a format over here that tests how flat your system plays between 20Hz and 40Hz they test the system with the termlab on the passenger headrest and a window or door open, they test 20,25,33,40Hz and your peak then you get an average i am currently the loudest system in walled under 6,000rms.
I have had 4 walled systems in the car over the last 2 years. 6 12s flat wall, 8 budget 12s ported tunnel then replaced the budget subs with some better subs and now i have the 18s. Current aim for the car is to keep my title on propper droppers and to make a low powered 149.9 bass racer

still got lots of things todo things todo next is flares and then im looking at upping the power time for some numbers
these number where the day after a weekend show where i had been playing with engine off so batteries where flat. did a 151.2 @ 41hz dB drag style
31hz tunning
Total average 152.5dB
peak 154.4 @ 33hz
40hz 152.5
33hz 154.4
25hz 153.5
20hz 147.7
with blockers 27hz tunning
Total average 152.6dB
peak 154 @ 33hz
40hz 151.9
33hz 154
25hz 153.5
20hz 149.8
Score from my old systems
ported tunnel tuned to 27hz with the 8 jbl gt5 12s did 150.1db @ 31hz dB drag style and the propper dropper scores where
total average = 152.1
peak 153.5 @ 32hz
40=151.5
33=152.6
25=153
20=149.9
then upgraded to the Ground Zero RW12-AL's did 148.6 @ 31hz db drag style and the propper droppers scores where
Total average 151.4
peak 153 peak @ 27hz
40hz 151.2
33hz 152.5
25hz 151.7
20hz 148.7
even thou ground zeros had better xmax more power handling and more of a solid cone the scores where down but to the ear it sounded alot smoother and cleaner
