All credit goes to Way2slo for the piece of wood perfect circle drawer. He is the one who suggested the idea to me and it worked perfect. He has been very helpful through the build, thanks alot!

Got the subwoofer, thanks Way2slo. Brand new condition and it got here pretty quick. Got everything installed, got it held in place with some wood. Works pretty damn good, sub box doesn't move at all.

Comments?

Thanks

But you left out one thing.


How does it sound?

I was just thinking the same thing.

Thing is pretty good for your first build. Whenever I can afford my material for my box I hope it looks at least half that decent lol.

Even in these few installs I have done, I have caught the bug for sure..

You just keep learning more and more little by little and it's great.

Here is a vid, breaking it in a little. Going to turn it up a bit when it gets a good break in. Want to make sure its ready as I am putting a little more than recommended power through it.

Looks like it worked out great.....

Too bad the sound goes all to crap thru the computer speakers tho....

I hope you have an idea how that amp is going to be mounted....I know it's only temporary but bungee cords??......

Nice job.....

haha I will think of a better way to mount the amp.. bungee cords is a little greasy but it works quite well.. amp is solid there.

I am glad its turning out good. Did you try the double sided tape yet to hold the box still? BTW I know you said breaking in in the video....it still has alot of excursion to go, itll be alot louder. Hope you are liking it, I still love mine. Ill put up a video of mine later tonight or tommorow, as I set up some lighting in my trunk for night time too. I got the Euphoric Midnight Bass cd's in my car from the original Sounddomain crew in like 04-05, and ill throw that on. Your poor neighbours, bumping in the neighbourhood.
