[QUOTE="bigbud747, post: 4396372, member: 581322"] Well, this is the build I've been working on, and finally got finished about 3 weeks ago. Everything is finished, except the amps are on their way right now (Hifonics Bxi2608's). Since I'm still in high school, I have unlimited access to pretty much any machine I want. And, since our school recently got a CNC machine, it made cutting the circles out of the baffle a breeze (It took a total of 15 minutes to cut ALL 3 baffles). And all the cuts it made were perfect, which helped out alot. Pretty much all of this started when a kid I work with got a listen to my setup, a Bl12. After that he was immediately impressed and wanted a Fi setup. His old setup was 4 CRV 12's powered by an old Kicker 1000 amp. I believe the highest he hit was a 141.2 on the TL. So, after talking to him about what he could do, we finally decided on this setup: Subs: 2 Fi Bl 18 D1 Sub amps: 2 Hifonics Bxi2608D (will be coming Thursday) Speakers: 2 Alpine Type S 5x7 component sets, and 2 Alpine Type S 6x9's Speaker amp: Kenwood KAC-6402 Headunit: Alpine 9881 Wire: 30 ft. of Knuconcepts 1/0 Deadening: 63 sq. ft. And just some other random stuff: all 14 gauge speaker wire, 4 Everstart Max batteries, and push-button start. The first thing I'll start with is the building of the box. The box itself is about 14.9 cubes, with 2 6" aero ports tuned to 32 hz. I used about 2 1/2 sheets of MDF, which I was surprised that was all I used. The demensions on the box are 46" wide, 37" tall, and 18" deep. I really wanted to have the flush mount look, so the front baffle is 2 sheets thick, with a third sheet as the flush trim piece.
