[QUOTE="0ptikal, post: 401076, member: 552163"] OK heres some more info and some answers to some of the comments. Yes the box is the probelm I've known that. But the only other place locally that will build a box wants $1500. for a MDF BOX!!! and CD audio is the only other place and that box was $300 the Eclipse box was the $1500. To be quite honest i **** with wood. Also i have no idea how to design a box's port with tuning the frequency. NEver had to build one before this is the first system I've done and It's my first vehicle so I don't think it's bad for my first system.
