Re: evan's stereo install

To put subs under the seat you would probably have to use fiberglass.

Re: evan's stereo install

You are absolutely right and I am glad that someone actually reads these things. I am old and feeble and I forget the small things from time to time. Three hundred db does take a lot of money and I did not spend that much. I got that entry in the forum at an early moring install and I missed the numbers by about a X 2, because I was tired. Thanks for waking me up. I will say that my truck is strong at what it puts out and the readings (not 300) are actual readings that I got at a competition in my local area. I gave that stuff up because it took to much away from what I wanted to do in the engine build up. I work at a power plant where pain actually starts at 90 db (acorrding to OSHA). I can turn the thing up to where your ears ring for quite awhile and I do actually make some decent power. Oh, by the way---Bazookas in an isobaric formation, set up in a series hookup hit pretty dang hard, especially in a truck cab.
