[QUOTE="O.G. D-Wet, post: 7016817, member: 619952"] ^LMFAO! Well I have a story toooz! I went to a TOTAL ripoff a$$rape school called Metro Auto Electronics and in order to officially graduate the school, we had to do like 2 weeks "externship" (internship) at a car audio shop of our choice. So I ended up doing mine at a little shop called Audio Depot in Mt. Holly, NJ. Anyway, during the class I had taken, I build a box for 2 18" Fi BLs in the fabrication class...
