[QUOTE="moniker, post: 8676427, member: 677072"] Well I just went ahead with a 1.25'' dowel. Nice tight fit. Initially, I was confused about how to attach it to the port wall, considering the exterior back-panel blocks screwing-access from the outside (ideally you'd install the dowel before the back panel). Didn't take long to figure out how to get it snugged from the inside with screw at 45d. I'm not so worried about the airspace it used. Put my head in the enclosure and hummed really low, and just that sounded incredibly rich and powerful! Also got a nice cut-out by running the jigsaw slower this time (no speed dial- all in the trigger squeeze on my cheapo jigg) @[B][URL="http:////profile/631274-2rz-fe/"]2RZ-FE[/URL] Glad you think so! So I got the new sub today, set it in the box.. and man, that foam surround is beefy! I just might double up on the face. Actually, I might put an extra 1.25-ish on the face so the surround is not just flush, but slightly recessed. I really want to just get this thing in the car and listen to some music already, but crafting this enclosure has opened up a new way to zone-out and be creative. Pretty fun.
