technically had another guy make the box. Ended up being a gentlemen from the board after i figured out i'm clueless. He's a woodworker, so i trust it was built well heh. Sub fires up, port fires back towards the rear.

Only part that might not be sealed that well (possibly, but i think it's fine) is around the sub itself, cutout was a lil on the big side. Might cut the carpet away and make a ring to put on top of it. But i think i got it prettywelll perfectly centered....that all the screws made it into the wood, plus the sub is so damn heavy, even if it wasn't screwed down, it'd likely be fine.

 

does your amp have a phase switch? could be a cancellation issue

 

I could try the phase switch fro the heck of it.


Don't get me wrong the sub go's pretty loud, it's comparable to two alpines....which is pretty well what i expected, i hoped it'd be louder, but heard it may or may not. Turns out it's not heh. So i just need another.

 

the xxx was never ment to be a spl sub.but try the phase thing and see if it makes a difference

 

Hmmmm for the record, switching the phase did seem to make a bit of a difference. It's not really louder, but seems to play a wider range of notes now which is rather hot.


That being said, this could just all be mental, but - none the less a step in the right direction, enough to keep me fairly happy for now!!!
