I suggest you read this thread. I am now hitting 150.2 on the dash at db drag with the TL meter and 152.6 at usac on the floor with the TL meter.

I suggest you turn that box so it fires to the rear and remove the rear seat and mount it so that the edge of the box is even with the edge of the rear spare tire well.

ok this is gonna probably be a n00b-ish question, but what is the speaker on the left (the first pic).

I know the right one is a sub (looks like 12-inch), but idk what the heck the one the left is :oops:

Its not a speaker its an aero port. His is a ported enclosure.

Quick question, but is there any benefit to having the port flare out like that? Or can it just be a straight edge?

Yes it can net you higher DB at the cost of port whistle. Mainly good for SPL. I personally don't use them as I use superior box tuning to make up the difference.
