Hey guys, good deal sounds like the testing has begun, the 12" that I have been working with is loosening up more everyday. And yes I want all feedback public so people know nothing is secret. Keep us updated. And allow it sometime.

well i wasn't planning on spending much time in my car today until the snow hit and i got an extra 1.5hrs of driving in (at 20kph nonetheless) so i got some more listening in. i played with my eq settings a bit since i hadn't changed them from when the JL was in and to my surprise i was able to hear an improvement, albeit slight. Like Steve says it seems that day by day this will improve. I'm going to be pulling the box into the house today and i think i'm going to invert mount the sub to acquire a bit more air space without having to build an entirely new enclosure to see how much a slightly larger box will play in this equation.

I agree with the video request. I think a video would show alot of detail and accuracy ple give us a front look at the subs and movement..

WEll, My gut instinct kicked in , and told me small ported box isn't much more wood then a IB setup, SO I built a 1.3cft NEt box. I hooked this up to my old 90's style Rockford punch 40 amp, and well, needless to say I ran some tones through it, and needless to say, Its not a SPL monster, but it picks up notes and throws them in my face on music taht I didn't know I could do with out a BLAHHHHHHHHH and everything rattling, Overall im impressed for now, and Cannot wait for it to break in more!!!
