not only can you not go over top of the second row.... they can be folded down, but need to funtion proper with your install in place.

sorry to break it... but this really does not resemble a horn... it just looks like a rolled slot port... as for the corners... better fill it more and the rest of the inside of that enclosure if you want top actually notice a difference... dont mean to offend... just straight out honest opinion... good luck with it... how ever it works... it does look good

if I get a chance I'll show pics of the interior of a well rounded box... or ask MTA Neon to show a pic of the inside of his... he did an AWSOME job

i know, its more of a slot port desgin, i guess its how the inside folds in, is what makes it a h orn...

a horn is basicaly what the half done pics are like, were the side of the box is not installed yet. that would actually probably work better. look up some info on a design called the wicked one. that is a solid design that uses two either 10's or 12's!
