ok guys, sorry for leaving you guys in suspense .... had to get my crappy cell phone pics up on twitpic. enjoy Enjoy the pics! edit: btw on the amp pics, thats 4 awg wire... my 1/0 awg arrives today, so that will keep me busy doing my big 3 first! edit2: fyi, this 18" fi bl is replacing my 15" fosgate t1 in a 2.5 cubic ft box. all i did was swap the woofers + boxes out with same setup and levels set on the amp/head unit. and now my ears are starting to hurt a little lol and sometimes i cant think straight with headunit crank up!!! this is a good sign. i am very pleased with the amount of money i spent and just wish i had known about these woofers before i spent the $499.99 a few years ago on that damn 15" fosgate t1.
