chinny, I sent you an e-mail about some Rainbow speakers. But, didn't pay enough attention and recommended some 6.5" components. But if you e-mail Jason he also had 5.25" Contours and Soundlines. Sorry for my screw-up!

Since these weren't yours Denim, I'll point to a source for a better price new. I don't know the company's reputation but I've been eyeing the COMP 8 for awhile now. Just waiting to see what some of the new 8's that are coming are like. http://www.mmxpress.com/crystal/crystal_subwoofers.htm

Ah, but they were actually designed to be screwed into wood. Wooden studs that is, not compacted sawdust.

Assuming you're using MDF for the enclosure, you could try these screws made specifically for Melamine and MDF, much more resistant to pull-outs: http://www.mcfeelys.com/subcat.asp?subcat=20.1.1.1 Or , as suggested, the T-nut: http://www.mcfeelys.com/subcat.asp?subcat=20.16.1 Dry wall screws are handy, but way overused in wood products which they were never designed for. We build furniture and really like the McFeely's square drive screws over slot and Philips head screws.

I thought the rim looked familiar: http://www.hsustore.com/asw1203.html

I took a look at the post where he was complaining about be dissatisfied with the sound quality of the three subs. http://www.mbquart.com/2003/en_US/forum/to...sp?TOPIC_ID=301 I posted on that board that, while I'm new at this, it looks like the enclosure is one open box with the three subs sharing the same space. I didn't think that was a good idea.

While you might consider the posts biased towards MB Quart, you could check out their msg board: http://www.mbquart.com/2003/en_US/forum/default.asp?CAT_ID=2
