We nearly got the box done. Everything goes in tomorrow so I'll update with TL scores Just thought I'd let you all see some of my dumb pictures from today.

We had to build this mofo in the trunk. The box is ~4 cubes.

3 4" aeros

HDC3 vs. my L7

Thanks TommyK, these bolts work great!

I'm not sure. The TL will tell us the port length tomorrow.

I can dig it. In for tuning and numbers.

You don't see proper use of aeroports on this site much.

You're welcome. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Also, another trick I do is actually use two nuts on each stud to hold the sub down. That way the nuts won't loosen from rattling/shaking. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Make sure to use washers as well so the nuts don't tear into the surround.

I did that on the first one and decided to not do it on any of the other ones. I had problems with getting the threads to line up and keeping the nut from spinning when I tightened it from underneath. Those bolts are in there tight! It was hell putting them in with a screw driver (Lowe's didn't have hex in 2.5") considering it's double baffled. I don't think that they should spin anytime soon.

No, what I mean by that is when you bolt the sub down, you actually stack two nuts on top of each other. That way the nuts holding the sub down can't loosen.

sorry for the noob question, but what kind of bolts are they? how do you get them to stay?
