I thought you were doing a bunch of 10"s or maybe it was 12"s? Not 2-18"s...

yah 52-53hz... was on bass mekanik - bass mekanik. its BRUTAL but too high for me. was doin a 157 in the box before i gained 2 db by fixing my rca's. so i need to get that pressure from in there to outside. im not really goin for numbers so im just gonna seal it off from the back since its still open and then shrink/lengthen the port as needed to get my tuning hopefully that will help my number since its pretty high. i wanna peak around 10hz lower if possible.
i think you would have been louder if you didnt block off this portion above the sealed chamber. Every bit that you can make the ported chamber larger has gained in most setups ive researched

Look at Cooks van Its like that for a reason.
When we first built it with the 5 15s we tried bringing the wall out flush and lost a TON, like 3 or 4db at reference volume so I'm sure it was more at higher SPL

small update. its gettin louder lower but peaking higher but still louder. i was peaking at 53hz doin a 148.7 on bass mekanik-bass mekanik. but now im peakin at 148.8 at 55hz while playin Kia Shine - Crispy.
while ive gained 2 db while playin Lil Jon - Push that from a 145.5 to 147.7 so im gettin louder lower so the range is getting better.
im not in the mood to tear out the wall above the sealed chamber to make it larger so im gonna keep tryin these port mods which are working right now so far. the subs are screaming for more power though. barely moving.

small update. got the roof deadened and got the cab pretty sealed off from the back. will be completely sealed after i glass over the edges. hope it helps

its droppin lower. sounds cleaner. still hittin highs way better than the lows. im gonna work on it tomorrow and build the port in just a little more and call it complete for now.
im getting my audiocontrol dqxs and DDC so i can tune everything so that may or may not help

Shrink that port opening and I bet your bandwidth increases alot.Mine plays pretty even from like 30-42hz.

im getting happier and happier everytime i mod the port ive got my peak down to 46hz and im doing over a 149 from 41hz all the way up to 53hz. gonna work on getting it down a bit lower but man im happy even though im not breaking a 150 yet but hey who cares its gettin way more musical
pics of termlab.
my last peak at 52hz was a 148.6 NOW
now my NEW peak 46hz !
and other tries at other freqs in the 40hz range
needless to say this thing is gettin more musical the more i work on it im now doing over a 149 from 41hz up to 53hz from my testing. im going to mod the port some more and see where i end up hope to reach a 150 by tonight though but if i dont and it stays mid 49s but at lower freqs than its now ill be just as happy
