looking good except, that first picture where you have the sub in the box, it looks like its gonna need some massive support cause the wood is flexing, or is that just me? anywho the subs looks beautiful. keep it up

hey sorry im late guys, my router is all crunked up. anyway this is a short review, ill answer any questions after i get back from the gym. in short... this this is loud! and it sounds damn good, ask kevin. i heard no audible distortion at all. however, the rear deck is downright pathetic. it flaps like a fish out of water. the few short comings are: slight group delay noted on rock songs, and a loss of high frequency output (cough cough still fly). but the low end more than makes up for it. thats all for the next 2 hours but kevin will chime in with his thoughts.

p.s. eats my shivas alive no question.

pretty damn loud....as soon as i cut wood for his amp rack, and stop the rattle, the delay will be 10x better, because its not as much the sub delay as much as it is the rattle.

Hilarity is guaranteed to ensue when playing Still Fly on ported 15s.

For his first time making a box, it turned out good. Props...box making a good box isnt easy.

that 18 would have amazing low end, but dont expect anything above 50hz.

they dont have avalanche 8s though and i didnt even see 8s for the other subwoofer. If i can do 8x8 that would be really cool cept i only have a 2 channel amp, and i have reason to believe thats a lot of load for the amp. ill stick to the 18 maybe a wall of 18s in a SUV

problem is he recommends a 6 cubic feet box or larger. Those dont fit in our maximas. so if i do go with the 18 ill have to do a 4.5-5 cubic feet box AT MAX.

Welcome to the nasty rear deck shaking and trunk rattling club my friend. The wood looks very nice. Hell of a job on the box BTW.
