REX
I worked on both, I have an Accent and my teammate has a REX
They don't like the same subs or box type so keep that in mind.
The Accent can get loud but I could not get mine loud this year because I didn't have have a mic and I used 10's this year and last year I used 1-12"ers and I went with a sub that was 3+ DB down from the first sub I had [Frown] very stupid mistake.

ok I bought a rex, its '88 not the si, no sunroof, I installed 1 9515, with around 4000w rms and a 1.99cf box with sub to the side and 4 4" aeros firing towards the back, tuned around 56hz and im hoping to hit at least 147+ with a 1.2volts kenwood head unit and a profile preamp, I know is not the best hu and preamp but its a starting point. ohh and I have 3 redtops with 1 run of 1/0 guage. stock alt upgrading soon.

ok I tested the car and it did a 149.0 dbs. voltage drop was up to 12.1v so i need some good alt to compensate. What do you guys think? good or bad number, and also what should I do to raise the number a bit more for at least 151?

Ok I tested again and did a 150.9dbs, then i mooved the box about 2 inches forward and lost .2dbs, so ill put it back and put some resin in the box to smooth it out a bit and then ill test again.

In my Hyundai Accent I made a score of 147.7 dbs but it was a 30 sec dead match. I played a killer track called welcome stranger. The setup was a DD9915 powered by a USAmps DE-3000 @ 0.5ohms with 2 x Optima Yellow Top batts. H/U Alpine CDA-9835 and the car was with the engine off. Can someone give me a hint for a louder box? plese P/M me.

Thanks.

How many subs? 1 or 2? As I see they are facing upwards, and the seats, one is folded to the dash (Passenger side) and the driver side is still in position. Am I right? How big is the port? Is it facing upwards also? Areo port 6"

Thanks
