hopefully I'll be there.

I'm not being sarcastic, I really do wanna see more pics of your install. I know you guys know your stuff, wish we could see you at some Toronto shows.

I know you didnt copy anything, that's a very common box design.

I have an idea for you to try

make a box that is very shallow (not very tall) and put subs up side down (invert mounted) with the port outside and firing up.

something similar to this,

I tried this in 2008 at Ottawa 2x show without succes. Its very difficult to drop the frequency to 57 Hz with a 8'' port without be illegal in height.

I also tried this box at the 2x show in Montreal in 2008:

And I don't count the ton of slotted port box tried in 2009...
