    First box build ever. Tips and help welcomed.

    Yeah I didn't do everything alone and I had to barrow like 5 different tools from 4 different people. lol. seems that having the right tools is half the battle. I understood how to make the box and the extra little thing to make it nice but I don't have a lot of experience with power tools so...

    First box build ever. Tips and help welcomed.

    yes my jet black carpet just arrived today. should look nice. I know what plasti dip and I don't see why that wouldn't work. I was actually going to paint mine but I screwed up the pilot holes on the front of the box so the screws didn't sink into the wood correctly. Now I'm going to carpet it...

    First box build ever. Tips and help welcomed.

    Quick update. Sanded down all the fiberglass resin as good as its gonna get. (definitely not a professional job) and then got the port put in. In the corners of the port we made corner pieces rather than true 45s because of the tight space. I don't really like them but you gotta do what you...

    Need help! First time buying 8".

    Hi everbody I'm looking to put an 8" sub in a 2004 Corvette Z06. Box will just be a standard rectangular box that I will build with a slot port (not those crazy "corvette boxes" all over the web). The amp will be an old school Treo SSX 750.1 (that's 750w RMS at 2 ohms). I'm looking to have a...

    WTB: Parts for PG amp.

    I just picked up a Phoenix Gold Titanium 800.1 for 25$. The top cover is pretty rusty and same with all the speaker and power terminal blocks. I haven't had it bench tested yet but we did put some power to it and the LEDs came on and the fans kicked on. From what I can see of the circuity it...
