		Depending on my money situation I will be starting a new box this weekend. Hopefully I can atleast buys a sheet or so of wood that way I can atleast get started. I have a ton of scrap from my other 2 boxes but I'm not sure if any of it is large enough for any parts of the box. I will get an update later this week. I'm hopin to get it done by next weekend. I'd like to get it metered within the next month.

		Need some help
		
		Do not buy a chevy blazer or gmc jimmy. Trust me they are way more trouble than you want to deal with. I've owned 2 now and I've had thousands of dollars in repairs on both. If you are goin to go with gm go with a tahoe/yukon. Like someone said the 5.3 is bulletproof. Or the ford explorer is real nice aswell. You dnt see many broke down.

		If they fit your goals and budget then I dont see why they wouldnt be legit. Legit like how? For the price they are awesome drivers. Good cs as well. I'd say they are legit. I din't get any sticker which sucks but I'm sure I can find some somewhere. I'd say they are a real legit company. I underestimated them a little bit actually a lot. The box did not stand up to them which is my fault I had never seen screws break like that before so that was kinda cool I guess. But they are real powerful hit strong and carry the note out pretty well. I can't think of a driver to compare them to that I've heard. Maybe nightshade I guess which actually my buddy just got his 15" nightshade when we get a box built for that I will have a better comparison.

		Yea the aq drivers bang. Surprised the shit out of me. I was not expecting the loudness. They seemed to have a real flat response. They hit low hit high just slammed every note... With authority haha. Me and chop are coming up with a new design that won't fall apart on me lol. Also I will build the box at his house so u know we will put some pics up. Lol.

		Well I had a bunch of pics on my phone of both the enclosures I was building but I was trying to fix my mow old box and cracked the screen on my phone. So no pics sadly but I'm building a new box. so I promise il have some pics lol. I liked the aq's for the short time that I got to listen to them. Even with all the bracing I had they just tore the box apart. So I guess il be starting a new box this week. I liked the size and tuning of the old box so il stick with that. But there will be a lot more bracing. Probably like 8 runs of 3/4 all thread vertically and Horizontaly.

		Subs will be here the 27th, been working on some side jobs to make some extra money, sooo nothing has been done/accomplished yet. I might work on it tonight but I'm kinda worn out. But will get started tomorrow for sure. I have to get double zero ran speaker wire ran box built get new batt put in put new comps in. So the list is big but should be doable o and I have to build 2 other boxes this weekend too. 1 for a 15 inch nightshade and 1 for a 18 inch xcon. So the list is big and will probably be lots of pics coming soon!!! =)

		Fuck touch screens man. Lol I have the bold. Its not to bad to type on. Usually it puncuates and all that for me but sometimes it likes to be a piece of shit. O btw update just got done putting a wheel bearing in the jimmy. That was a bitch. Haha Yes, show us your wood.....Wait. No, never mind. lol I am impressed that you did all that on your phone. I can hardly get a full sentence on my pucking Storm. Good luck on your build man. one thing I hate is the ssa smartphone shit lol I can't see half the shit that's usually on ssa and I have a hard time replying( as you can see I fucked up in my last post) and its to complicated to change it back lol.
