Sealing off the Trunk

Building a Box(42hz @ 5ft^3)

Applying dynamat extreme to rear deck.

just make your own //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif use some .25 plywood and just attach it to your baseplate and then measure out from the bit to the radius of the circle you want to cut and put a nail through it.

Mine is 15gallons. It goes up to 150PSI. But the nail guns only require 90 or so.

Its good to look for ways to save time and become more efficient, but going with brads isnt the way I would do it. I would look in other areas.

The box is tuned to 48 hz so yes.
