I use my lineman's pliers (Klien tools).  I have stronger than average hands, and I have to really squeeze the fugger, and i need to do it in a couple of places, but it's solid.  clamps or rope/bungee cord could do the same if you can't grip it hard enough.

just from seeing them in nyc and jersey city, i can say there are both good and horrible brazil style set ups. look at it this way: the usa is more or less the capital of car audio and bass stuff, but time i look at craigs list and such looking for some cheap stuff, i see some pretty horrible...

lol, i should probably finish that box design you gave me (have done majority of cuts, need to do 45s on the bracing, maybe round over the port edge) and just enjoy it first. it's just that i have a new mono amp and want to find a use for the sub channel of my 5 channel amp, i might get a 3rd...

So a related question: how about using lots of those little 6.5 inch subs which require tiny boxes? on paper it seems power and space efficient, but what am i missing?

i JUST bought a new mono amp on ebay last week. so i just got some earbuds on ebay, 20% helps convince me to waste money.

i almost bought a kicker KXM1200.1. seems to range between 199 and 220 on amazon. comes w gain knob, a fairly full set of features, and by all accounts will be much better on electrical than audiopipe or what have you. I don't see the value in buying a cheap amp but then spending money on...

shred hooked me up w some plans. I've made one change, i'm extending the top 1 inch wider and doing a dado cut, just to give myself a lip on each side to pick it up by. did most of the initial cuts, will try to find time on the weekend to do the rest. got some bed liner to paint it. I also...

alright, that settles it. for my first box build i'll go with a simple ported. just have to iron out the plans and port details. thanks for all the input guys.

Also, is that decware death box a good idea? Being tunable seems nice, but all reviews i read are old and very split into love and hate it seems.

Ya, i hear you on the higher tune shred, nondecaf just regular music. Would you mind showing me a more musical box idea? I could do slot or aero i suppose. Have a 2017 chevy ss, box is backed up by my rear seats facing back, can't put it all the way back and lose trunk tho. Thanks all

Wow, that'sa cool mockup. So after sub displacement its close to what kush was talking about it seems. Ya, 12 inch depth is a no shot. Would that build work w an aero port, or like you said its messed w/o the slot? Does your graphics program show cut sheets and such?

Shred, ya i think you and i have a similar taste in tune. I'd love anything you'd suggest. Why so hard for same side ports, cuz of my space requirements? These subs have decent xmax for the pricd i paid, i got em in a sealed box swimming in polyfil, but i want that thump i get on some gucci...

Tnx mopar, i'll fire in some deck screws to keep it tight.

2 of these bad boys: https://www.crutchfield.com/p_500RW10D2/Alpine-R-W10D2.html?tp=68872 FS is 30hz, Qts is .47, Vas is 21L or 0.7416 feet cubed. I'll be making this out of .75 inch MDF, have some tools to do dado cuts so it's easier to pick up and has a bit better grip. I have clamps so...

good vid. seeing this makes me less likely to buy other audio pipe amps, even if they bench well and seem ok. just not worth saving a few bucks (given there are other solid cheap options as your videos show us) vs buying from a better brand. also; what are people's opinions on AB vs D amps...
