as some may know had to file a claim for my other 8's as 3 of 4 subs were stolen from the package while in transit //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/verymad.gif.3f39c5c2fd57527b671fad3efdfac756.gif

pics:

after all displacement its about 2.8ft^3 @ a nasty 26hz-35hz.... easily change tuning

I call it the BONER BOX! lol

only have a few pics but all pieces are cut baffle cutout done except for top. Port is glue n right now as I type!

port cutouts

Fits like a glove!

gluing the 4" risers/small pieces for port in order to connect the 90's and have the correct amount of depth

gorilla glue FTW!

This right here will have the box around 3ft^3 @ 35hz.... i can add pre-cut pieces to the elbows through the cutouts and drop the tunning all the way down to 26hz!

Front baffle still needs to be cutout and flush trimmed. will do tom.

back is on

will post more h.o.
