yeah, had a total brainfart and forgot to measure the depth. it's 36 wide just like my ported box for the 12" Q. so i figured yeah it'll fit.

can't slide in from the inside. the opening is only 15" or so high from the cabin. i'll try to take the spare out and see if i can gain a bit more room to get this sucker in. if not, i'll sell it.

we threw it in the backseat for a listen. the RLp pumps out some serious air.

chris, yeah the ava is a sick sub. low end monster and super accurate. too bad i don't drive a SUV.

Hmmm, I don't know if I'll make it Thursday ... She was in the hospital with bleeding and contractions, but the bleeding stopped and all is well, and we were discharged this morning. I can't wait to meet him

But if she's well, I'll try to stop by.

LOL. I can't get my box in with the spare in. Nor will the spare fit in after the box is in.

Good looking box either way. Are you going to use the Rlp or the Ava?

Wow, you look either stoned or high or something.

But if I look at the picture hard enough, you also look normal.

How do you do it?!
