At that high a DB level in the low bass region you're likely losing some through all the rear hatch/glass flexing. I bet if you built a solid barrier to reflect more of the sound waves back towards the front of the car you'd have your 150 db spl.

We changed the port so I now peak at 149.2@42hz.
But its a lot flatter response now, before it was pretty peaky at 34hz, and dropped off a bit on anything over 40hz.
I'll upload a pic of the new port, still have to run the speaker wire (8g monster cable) correctly. Its just through the port right now for testing purposes.
Eventually when I KNOW I wont be changing up the box/tunning anymore, I'll be building an amp rack with a loading wall to help bring the waves forward.
This car still doesnt have a single piece of deadner yet, So hatch is going to get foamed up and deadened first. then the floor, then my doors and roof.
Might try a trick I read with some weather stripping around the hatch to keep some pressure in.
I think I should be easily into the 50's when Im all said and done.
Especially with what I have planned in the future to go in this box and to power them, coming soon

Would anyone be interested in seeing the build in the cherokee when it starts?
I might hold onto the camaro a little longer and atleast get a 50 from it before I sell it (Shouldnt be hard with the equipment I'm getting..)

I'm in the process of redoing mine like I talked about, from this point I'm going to fiberglass over the whole thing and paint it so I can feel safer about the water leak thats reappeared not destroying the box, I've just got to find a weekend when it's not raining so I can get back on this project.

Also- I picked up my new bass truck. 97 ford explorer. 2 door. Got it for $650 with minor issues (needed tires, headliner was cut up and has a small oil and trans leak from the pans)
Redid the headliner the 2nd day I had it, changed the oil, seafoamed the engine and gas, and just bought a set of 22's off Craigslist that were 6months old with like new tires for $350.
Just have to tackle the leaks and start on the system.
Eventually I want to reprint it (clear coat pealing) and glass the door panels for mids.
It'll be a slow project but it'll get done.

Honestly, I can't really comment on it just yet, I just put it back in the car friday night and I was on the highway all day today, and you know how you can't truely judge bass when you have the noise of doing 75 MPH with the windows down, sh*t you can barely hear the music, but it's hooked up and here in Sanibel with me so I can get a feel for it and do a little tuning, I leave friday morning if you got the time sometime this week and wanna check it out just let me know.
