have you heard it yet? i got mine yesterday and so far with little tuning they sound amazing. im loving them. i already have them set for my daily listening tastes and they still have SOOO much more to give, they have already given it, haha. when i run my epic 160 to them it hurts.

Very Happy with the box turn out. It was my first one, and I did everything free hand. Circular saw for cuts, and a Dremel to cut out the hole...I dont know how the hell the hole turned out so well cause i have the worst hands ever...

Anyways, Planning on rebuilding it soon with the proper tools and maybe a slightly different design...(My Aunts Father in law is a cabnit maker and his shop is at my aunts house...so I have free range to lots of a tools, just didnt realize it untill a couple days ago)

oh, i just barely noticed at the very bottom of your first post you said that it would be running fri or sat.

how big is that box?

box looks similar to mine for my 18Q. youll need to rebuild it eventually. 3/4 mdf without bracing tends to flex a lot with a 18 in the box. i should be rebuilding mine this friday. 1.5" with bracing all the way around.

I got bracing. Turns out the peices I had were like 2/8 of an inch short...so I need to go out and get some more...

It will only be getting 1000w or now..untill I can upgrade it. I love my amp setup and would have to change it to accomodate a larger amp. So for now 1000w it is..which is why i chose a BL instead of BTL

As someone who has done alot of wood working, I'm not happy with it. However, for all free hand, i definitely impressed my self a little.....

Next time, better be perfect or ill just rebuild again.

Well thanks, i appreciate all the nice comments. I have the bracing in now and ill probably start carpet later tonight. Use my half day tomorrow to set the gains, clean out the cargo area(Ie move out my Dual 12's) and move this monster of a box down 2 flights of stairs and out to the jeep...

I cant promise videos as 1. Ill be to busy smiling to grab a camera

2. I have to install my Steering Wheel Control Adapter and thats a fudgeing job in it self...

Good News and Bad News...

Bad News: I will be building a new Box. As I didn't take into account the fact that the wheel wells keep it from sitting on the floor...In the back its not problem, but I forgot how deep the box was and that it might come in contact with them.

Good News:THIS MOTHER fudgeER WANGS!

Holy mother of all bass....I cant imagine having 2 of these, or even one BTL with a couple thousand Watt's.....

I only turned it up real quick with the Gains set as low as they will go and no Subsonic Filter...As my fudgeing blank CDs dissapeared, and im waiting for the bitch to bring them to me on her afternoon break...

jesus...

Videos will be up later tonight...hopefully soon..

And now....The carnage...

Calling for a new windshield tomorrow...

But then what. The Glue I had on there was supposed to be like super strong. I think the big problem was I glued it directly to the window instead of the little peice they put on there(after it fell of three times)

At least I know the glue is strong right?

And sorry for no vids but I did one quickly and for some reason the file is corrupt...so ill get a new one AFTER the windshield is repaired. Its flexing really bad and i dont want it to shatter...
