1/4 x 2in solid brass bolts. have to cut them down a tad but iv been doing it this way forever and it works like a charm.

What happened to the left corner on the left woofer in the 1st pic?

just a piece of dust haha.

On a bad note though the 1200d ate chit for a second time again so i got to listen to them for ohhhh 20min. Nasty to say the least and they play all kinda music very well. Hopefully i can go to sundown tomorrow and maybe work something out with jake on trading it in for a 1500d for some extra cash.

[Mark LaFountain 1,054]

glad you finally got them. Any pics of themin the box?

[ncacoates 104]

Here are pics in the box and i need to kill myself i thought i got all the dust out of the box but i guess not. hopefully it didn't get in the gaps of the subs. don't mind the uglynessss

[Mark LaFountain 1,054]

those look great in that box. Now its time for more power

[ncacoates 104]

yep time for real power but im broke as broke gets.... maybe i can talk jake into letting me test an amp out for awhile or upgrade my now broken 1200d to a 1500d for the time being.

[nem 2,019]

Even with the dust those subs look great!
