March 30, 201213 yr Looks clean.Have you tried to fire the subs & port forward, and sealed the box from the trunk ?This prefab box does not look too bad. Do you know what is it tuned to ?
March 30, 201213 yr A pre-fab box is a no noIf the enclosure is constructed well and meets the driver's specifications I see nothing wrong with it.
March 30, 201213 yr Do something with the battery man. Wouldn't want to be in an accident, or make any sharp turns.

March 31, 201213 yr i only have 1 question. i seen this topic this morning and i figured someone would say it......... but... if you spent that much money on subs..... why the fuck wouldn't you buy some SSA's?.... i mean damn .... its our home .... first off... and second off... its a way better sub........ so why?

March 31, 201213 yr right on... i was drunk when i wrote that....but i was serious never the less.... and of course i have to now say this...just cause you have that much power dont mean you need to push that much power!! and of course we know the Dcons are known to take more then 300 watts responsibly (trying to get away from saying "underrated") Edited March 31, 201213 yr by bigjon
