making room for baby!



This was my original set up. The box was 1.6cuft plus port and tuned to 33Hz. The piece on the right was my amp rack. One problem though with a baby on the way, I need room for the car seat and stroller and I also need to be able to remove the sub for extra space with out loosing all my music! So i built something a little different





Counter sunk sub cut out using 3/4" MDF sandwhiched with 1/2" MDF

Metal grill insert to allow heat to disapate. The amps have been moved into a false floor to free up more space



The space between the strut towers is 37"
The new box is 2.6 cuft tuned to 33Hz and goes stupid low! It's not finished yet, got some finishing touches left but i think you get the picture. Any suggestions or comments are valuable, so feel free!

Best value in my opinion, and absolutly the best customer service i've ever had! I recently had an issue with my sub, it was a year out of warrenty and they still fixed the problem. All I had to do was pay the shipping there! It's being underpowered right now and it still does 140db at 37Hz on about 600 RMS. It's rated for 800RMS but can handle much more than that. They're also built individually, you go to the website choose your options then they build it and send it too you!
