I love the Q already heard it when it was installed in HardRock's car before it blew. Now I'm waiting on the Ups guy to get here to update again. I got this on lock.. :lockd: lol. Saw this guy and had to use him.

And again thanks for the support!!

Only goal is bass guys. lol. I have decent speakers from factory. And go by ear on the mids and highs. Kinda broke right now. And i'm really iffy on the recone. First one. In the pit of my gut I feel like i fucked something up and its not gonna work. But idk. Its my first recone. and first time feelin a fresh coned sub. So idk how its supposed to feel. Know its gonna be tight for a while til break in. But we'll see. May get hardrock over tomorrow sometime to test the sub and amp in his car since I havent gotten the wires put in.

And sorry for the lack of pics in this update. I went to my garage to do the removal of the old CA and to glue on the new cone. Then got trapped by a massive down pour out of nowhere. Then I was finished. Then worked on my 4wheeler which is finally running after like a year. lol.

Thanks for the support guys!!!

Oh. An one more thing. yes. the sub has coil rock. You can perfectly hear the coil rubbing on the motor. :(

But. FI said itd be fine to bump it as it til i get the new ReCone in. So its goin in for a while on low power.

DSCN0418.jpg

So i knew I was gonna need some sort of false floor. So i made these lil foot things. Which arent even attached to the box. Its just sittin on them. And it hasn't moved more than a half an inch.

DSCN0419.jpg

Got the box in finally.

DSCN0420.jpg

Fits back there perfectly. Even though this box was designed for HardRocks Grand Am. lol.

DSCN0421.jpg

And one from out the lil slider.

DSCN0422.jpg

Damn that was a close fit. But we're good! :fing34:

and thats it for now. Stay tuned! still have to do the big 3. Waiting on ring terminals. And gonna throw in a nice lil voltmeter i picked up off ebay for a good price.
