oh and yea bigred for sure, mabe this coming sat if your available. i just gotta work out a few minor kinks with it.

also, why would i spend something like 300 or more on a pair of subs, when if i damage one, i'm out all that cash, when i can just buy a cheap one, with good specs (330RMS/1200Peak which is a lot better then some of the more expensive names with lower numbers) and if i damage it or it pops i can just get another one for cheap?

what is your reason for thinking that Sony is garbage? an give me a real reason, not just because you or someone else said so.

We did a similar box in a Cherokee a long time back - 6 Sony 10s in 9cuft vented. He had one of those red 1000watt Sony X amps and the results were pretty impressive. I thought his truck was going to come apart, lol.

IMO Sony makes one of the best $50 woofers out there.

thx .

i way i see it is, sony has 330RMS and 1200 peak for 50$.
other brands have like 300RMS and 600peak for 150$

so unless im missing something, the sony is the obvious choice.

oh you mean, learn to let people bash all my hard work and walk all over me.

mabe you should "be a man" and use contructive critisism, which people want, instead of comin into a topic where someone has OBVIOUSLY put alot of work into his system and saying how its pretty much a complete failure.

just because i dont care about this NEARLY as much as you aparently do, nor have as much knowledge, doesnt mean you get to be *****. im obviously a new person, so help me instead of puting down my attempts.

alright yuli since noone wants to play. Im down.

Caulking vs resin. Im not going to argue that too much i think you are right in alot of ways ive seen alot of "big names" (no im not mentioning them u know wtf i mean) use caulking because its better then nothing and cheaper then resin..however if your not worrying about 10th's of dbs the extra bit gained from the caulking shouldn't matter. good call.

However the double baffle....yet again this man obviously isnt worried about gaining every bit he can. The baffle will not break and even the amount of flex might not even do much in this case if he were 2 double up on the baffles.

I know your just havin fun but comeon at least nit pick the important things like the lack of duct tape around his subs

did you ever end up selling the rex?
