Gold Member Username: Naledge503Portland, Or Post Number: 4126 Registered: Jun-06 | Actually that seems pretty good being sealed. What car is this in and was this score on music or burping on tones? |

Silver Member Username: Purplehase_bongBC Canada Post Number: 279 Registered: Apr-04 | its in a z28 camaro, it was on a sine sweep ie burp tone. the box also is very small. |

I'm pretty sure kicker has specs for sealed enclosures for those subs. Matter of fact people have run them sealed as well plenty of times just fine. Stop spreading B.S. please. |

Gold Member Username: JakeyplaysbassSt. Louis, MO / ASU Post Number: 3286 Registered: Jul-05 | Thats actually pretty high for sealed. I was only doing 1.5dB more with 2 15s and 2kw sealed. What kinda mic was it on?... legal?... |
|
Silver Member Username: Purplehase_bongBC Canada Post Number: 281 Registered: Apr-04 | im not sure wat mic it was on, but yes it was legal. the mic they used is giving peak spl, not the average. ill ask them wat mic they were using. |

Platinum Member Username: Nyyfan1315 Mag USA Post Number: 10179 Registered: Jul-06 | Not a bad score at all dude. I'm also curious as to the mic and how it was metered. |
|
Silver Member Username: Snowball123West Allis, WI United States Post Number: 959 Registered: Oct-07 | sorry my bad, i just heard they sound like pretty bad sealed. and he could prolly get a way better score if he ported them. |
|
Silver Member Username: Hittin1Lake Charles, La. United States Post Number: 946 Registered: May-07 | he likely would have gotten a better score in the right ported enclosure. A lot better IMO |
|
Silver Member Username: Purplehase_bongBC Canada Post Number: 282 Registered: Apr-04 | see thats the problem, my car is very restricted to space. if i was to run ported itd have to be in the back seat. ill get the mic specs tonight. |
|
Silver Member Username: Purplehase_bongBC Canada Post Number: 284 Registered: Apr-04 | audio control rta was the mic they were using. |

Platinum Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 10168 Registered: Jun-04 | One l7 12 ported could be louder but that is a good score sealed. |
