How do you seal up the rear of the truck? Or are the drivers reacting to a free air enviorment?

The cab of the truck is the box. Thats why the bronco is so damn loud outside it.

Our design is an Infinite Baffle (whatever that is) - the cab is our enclosure and when doors are shut - it is air tight. Woofer magnets face the bed of the truck. With the shell on, window up, bed is enclosed but not reinforced as the front.

Our enclosure has 3 inch glass windshield, 1 inch glass in doors, doors weigh about 400 lbs each and are air sealed with about 1600 pounds of force on each door, everything is steel and alum reinforced there. It's built like Fort Knox!

In theory, the air pressure should all be in the front of the truck - testing is now being done to determine what is going on since we blew out the tail light in Nashville last year and now the back window in Austin!

LOL - Wonder if Wayne would let us put the mic in the back?

Most of you know more about the theories behind my install than I do. Please feel free to add anything.
