my new boom



too lazy to paint or carpet the box, the port's spraypainted haha. All in all it came out decent...had a couple air leaks in the face and i was too lazy to take the subs back out and seal from the inside so I glued some spots from the exterior...then i realized i should have just added a couple extra screws on top lol. 3.0 ft^3 ~ 34hz. and i get to say i met mike from SS! who else can say that? i wanted the logoless + sig but he was out of the logoless, but the anodized cones w/ logos were my 2nd choice.

i haven't had extensive playing time with these babies yet, but they are quite the impressive drivers. i've only listened to rap and stuff like that so far so the SQ hasn't been PHENOMENALLY better than my old solo setup but they are tighter, get lower, and have a slightly different tone (maybe some would say warmth?). o...and they're LOUD. once i throw everything i got at it will i be able to give a half decent objective review. fitment was EXTREMELY tight, and after it was in and i was all happy, i realized the metal rods that connect the hinges of the trunklid rub against the top of the box! oh well, it'll just have to be something i'm gonna have to deal with

put the port on the passanger side. Everything I have read from other audio forums about getting loud in trunk cars says if the box is rear facing, put the port on the passanger side. I don't know why, I just listen to the pros. When you do this you can also seal off the leaks and rotate the subs. The box looks great. Just needs a little finishing.
