Oooh, I see ya.

Hell yea, i know how to build a box. I've built a "few". But i learn new stuff on here a lot. And, your like the king of info on subjects like this, so im not about to get in an argument with you over something like this...I'll end up looking like a clown.

no, he taught me some pointers haha. but we really go back and forth on things to try/do/learn/look at/learn from. dont think im going against u jordan, im not. im just saying you need to learn a little more as well as build a little more before taking peoples money on a public forum where they dont really know your abilities.

no, dont say sorry, just understand that ur a female, and you gotta give yourself some self-respect. Especially if ur one of the only female car enthusiast in this forum. It's just ugly to see a female cuss, especially on the internet.

first off guys, i havent read the last 2 pages or so yet but i will keep in mind next time about the screwing process... look i didnt mean to suggest something really, just wanted to see why did PV Audio think its a better idea, that's all.

for the record, the box sounds great!!!!!!! 60sq/40spl, i am blown away stepping up from the 1cube wedge prefab, right now im trying to learn how to tune a digital amp, which has too many options or so. will build another ported enclosure in the near future for a friend, and i will keep in mind about the screw/glue

Rustoleum Painter's Touch flat black. Never used anything less (except on my III box I used lacquer)

hey i just made my first box as well. and mine is a 1.5 cu. ft 22in. in length,16.5 in.tall and 10.5in. in depth(this is the outside of my box). my port is 2in. wide 15in. tall and 10in. long (its supposed to be set @33hz. but umm yeah its my first box as well i did everything pretty much perfect cause i took my time but i put my circle on the front side away from the port. but i was kind of wondering what ur dimensions are and everything

hey Big Cat got any pics? my dimensions are 28x14.25x14, how did you cut the circle away from the port, i been thinking about doing that later on for this sub to see if i get better results
