those are some sexi boxes!

yeah, I get that, I planned on building or buying a custom box, this was just temporary. But the sub only lasted about an hour so I'm glad I didn't spend a couple hundred bucks on a box, the one in the pic I grabbed from a friend because I wanted to see what the Type R would sound like with a...
