Impressive! Not sure if anyones ever hit that number with a single Type R. Goes to show you what lots of time spent on the install will get ya.

By install you must mean box and sub placement.

Why is it every SPL nut never makes the install look good?

Everyone I have seen looks like ass...

External flared ports have that air horn cool look to them :) SPL competitors and enthusiasts are more focused on the number than install finesse, you're always upgrading/changing something.

Yep, I guess when you're purpose is to compete, making a clean install really isn't all that practical with the amount of times you might change a sub, box or amp.

Mainly fiddling around with the box. My sub will be firing twoards the hatch, because from what i've heard firing upwards doesn't do well in my Jeep. Of course, i'll probably try it out anyways. I need to add resin, PVC and who knows what else to the box before i can judge if it's really gunna cut it.

exactly

i havent had a box for more than a week... why would i throw $ into covering them all pretty like when its not lasting for any period of time.

This box is insane though... 146.5 at the headrest *car off*... the box could only pull a 149.7 with the car off... and then i moved the mic to the headrest so that score was yet lower. I predict no less than a 147.5... which puts me in good position in sr1 already.. a 148-149 is predicted to win finals, nuts!

On top of that... my battery is really taking a crap... its 3 years old and it USED to hold real nice with the car off, now its starting to get worse and worse. Used to be charge burp charge burp and it would be very consistent... now I have to let it sit before it can retain a good voltage... which btw, "good" voltage isn't that good :)

By running one 12 I free up a ton of trunk space, and I do have different batteries that are much stronger, but I can still only run 1 and it still needs to fit into the wheel well, which the other batts dont.

Blah blah blah I'm a bit excited if you cant tell :)

this is a jerry rigged hacked box that i built in 2 hours.. it was for 2 12's then i hacked it in half for one.

I'm almost scared to build a straight SPL box... but honestly this one is holding up exceedingly well in *all* areas.

+ it allows me to run more fuse in my class.

How much power did you put on it? Just curious
