I'll go as low as $450 for the sub and box.

Not a chance I am selling for $300. I really don't want to go pull the sub back out of the box either.

$400 for just the sub. It was $900 new, and hasn't even been broken in. It is a 9500 series sub. Yes it is a triple stack motor.

What's your offer???

So, I'm new to the site. Thought I'd give a little intro. I was a professional installer for about 12 years. I have moved my main business from car audio to home audio/video. I had quite a few different cars back in the day built for SPL, and now I am a little more focused on SQ. I currently...

^^Too many hammers with nothing to nail.

That is what the bracing is for. Besides, 1/4 inch thick fiberglass is harder and stronger than 3/4 inch wood. If you use 3/8 in wood with 3/16 thick fiberglass on top, it will be plenty strong for a normal box. I wouldn't load 6 15's in it though.

I have a really nice DD 12 with about 4 hours of play time on it. I bought this with the intentions of having some real SPL in my STI. Next thing you know, I have over 600 AWHP, and I don't want the weight in the car. I built the box sealed to hear it and see if I liked it. It sounded great in...

You can use a thinner wood, and then fiberglass it from the inside for strength without the weight. Definitely use bracing. You may still want to use a 3/4 piece for the actual sub mounting location.

You have a ton of room. You could go to a 7th order bandpass and just see ports!!! I would think any bandpass design could hide the subs completely. You just need a good formula to design the box correctly.

You can also get your carpets and stuff from http://www.selectproducts.com I have been using them for years. Great pricing, fast shipping, and great customer support.

Looks good, but I hate terminal cups.

I actually have always liked using glues more than silicones for all my boxes.

I would think having them face the same direction as the port would keep them in phase with the port. Having the subs fire up while the port fires back would give a 90* out of phase issue. You may end up with some weird SQ things going on.
