Installed my 2 new 2500 watt amps and during testing in the hot sun I cracked the windshield. So I'm guessing that its definitely louder. Will find out this weekend for sure.

Would you need me to mod it? I am not a photoshop guy. Perry (AtlMX3) does all that kind of work for me.
That last sentance sounds like I demand it of him. He is nice enough to try what I ask when I need something.

WOW that's amazing... I wonder why it only cracked the front and not the rear also?

Well this car is used for SPL competitions, It hit 159db that day on an older meter which is equivalent to about 153db on meters used today. This was with a single 15 there's quite a few threads in this forum about this mx-3...........

The way the system is designed the back hatch is actually a virtual port and although the spl is higher in the "port" back hatch, tempered glass (which the hatch glass is made of) is alot stronger than the windshield glass. It will most likely blow the seam out of the rear window before it shatters it unless the seam came loose and the glass actually vibrated on the surrounding metal frame.......

Anyway its designed to compress the bass in the cargo area and then release it forward, as you can see the brunt of the pressure is rather high and in the center, the next step is to control the pressure release and try to direct it at the passenger side lower part of the windshield where the meter is located..........Should net higher db if i can achieve that........
