When were you in? Sorry to thread jack!!Awesome job so far man!!!
March 8, 201114 yr Damn it man, you are making short work out of this build. I would be a dead man if I brought a saw horse in the house and tried cutting wood. HAHA.

March 9, 201114 yr Author :Doh:Dam that suxxxxxxWhat happen? just bad measurements or something???eh not a big deal i just cut away the top and bottom board a little. but i was thinking the overall diameter would be just a little under 12.5 but its like EXACTLY 12.5 and thats how much room i had... i new it would be close. but i got it handled, in the middle of glassing right now at the shop came home for a smoke break real quick and to post some pictures i took while i was sanding... and a better picture of the sub.
