I do apreciate all of the advice!
Like i said, it was mainly a learning experience. This summer i plan to buy a better alternator, build a better box, and stick with just two 15"s, and most likely upgrade the subs as well. I hit 141.5 dBs sealed with the two 15"s and a cheapo visonik amp off of 250rms in my old setup. Since then, with all subs operating i'd guess around 143ish. Not a whole lot of increase. But then again my ports are firing up into the rear deck, and the box is so big that i feel it is blocking a lot of the sound from entering the cabin. I got a lot out of this build, and plan to do quite a few things a bit different next time. The entire project took me three days...errr... nights i guess i should say, about 12 hours total. I wish i wasn't as stressed so much for time when i did this. I've done a good amount of research, but Ryan could you maybe go a bit more in detail about the uneven cone loading concept?
I haven't heard hardly anything on this, and i'm still confused as how it does not affect other port-style enclosures? I've seen some rather *different enclosures just searching around online. But thanks again everyone for the input!
