So do you think that box gained 1.1db over your box???

Or would it be possible there are gains somewhere else in the car?

Amp was in the standard location it would never fit in the tire well it's under the box.

What was silly about the whole situation is I've had 12,000 watts tested power in a CRX in Street C with 4 12's and the best I ever mustered up was a 156.4.... Street B Mike had 7000+ with 2 12's I saw him do a 156.1-4.... We worked on the same car as a team 2 years later with 2 10's and 5000 watts and beat both of our best scores...

So hopefully this changes the way people think about CRX's and what they are capable of. FYI the car was gaining .1 per 100 watts additional we could get to it . That's part of the reason it had a hard time repeating the 156.7 we saw in the pits... It was a vitctim of it's own efficiency.

my amps are about 90cm long

I am sure this will also work in CRX, be creative

PS: This is also my 3rd distribution block install, took me also a while to figure out how it works best!

Are you suggesting there may be modifications to the car itself?

I know you're probably not but you keep repeating that and it throws up a red flag everytime I read it.

They are 12's.
Batteries are in front which is why I run Rad X.
However, it did not help as I do the same #'s with 12v batts in the spare tire well. My car has so much sheet metal damage in the rear and does not seem to hold pressure above 154db

over the year with what we are doing to them they can come unglued , if the spot welded areas break loose them they have some stuff from fusor that can put it back together with ,is availible at local body shops or on line auto body supply shop to replace factory inner to outer skin applications.
