[QUOTE="brian84corvette, post: 8273882, member: 586635"] then magic happened. my job = event setup and removal - we rent from another similar shop who does alot of audio. im friends with the owner and was telling him about my burb he saw my exitment and gave me a pair of his old 12" peavey black widow electric guitar speakers the dust caps were hammered - so i cut those off and glued on replacments = fantastic free mids !! so where should i put them ? doors ? no that would be terribly amout of work to re locate everything... also dont want them in the rear fill area..... i kno ill take out the existing factory center consol and build a box there for them. cool - go this is how it first came out. looks terrible - played ok - filled with pollyfill - sounded amazing. still looks awfull special note - left and right tweets on the a pillars are infinity refrence [URL="http://s214.photobucket.com/user/brian84corvette/media/009_zps593fb9f7.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc279/brian84corvette/009_zps593fb9f7.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL="http://s214.photobucket.com/user/brian84corvette/media/009_zps593fb9f7.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc279/brian84corvette/009_zps593fb9f7.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL="http://s214.photobucket.com/user/brian84corvette/media/002_zps1f15bf00.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc279/brian84corvette/002_zps1f15bf00.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL="http://s214.photobucket.com/user/brian84corvette/media/001_zps7a591598.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc279/brian84corvette/001_zps7a591598.jpg[/IMG][/URL] so it plays great. realley warm and alive sounding guitars like red hot chilli peppers / november rain from guns n roses are just astounding up front but that dang box is so ugly im going to throw up on it. something has to be done about it. alright - one million pounds of saw dust later this is what i came up with. [URL="http://s214.photobucket.com/user/brian84corvette/media/067_zpse662301a.png.html"][IMG]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc279/brian84corvette/067_zpse662301a.png[/IMG][/URL] did recess mount on the 12s and cut the front of the box off and used a piece of 12" sono tube to do round over front. it was awfull doing recess mount on the 12s on a already built and glued together box... and i used my circular saw as a router to fit the sono tube front it would of probably been easier to just start over from scratch on that box. box still plays fantastic - filled with pollyfill - both woofs are together for 4 ohm load bridged on 2ch of a old punch 400a4 = 100ish watts per looks a little better like this now. im sort of satisfied for the time being [/QUOTE]
