[QUOTE="spltuscon, post: 6585323, member: 611863"] I don't like most peoples SPL boxes to be honest, a lot of them are effective for sure, but I prefer a clean finished look and preferable something unique. That was part of the inspiration for my Octoports, I have no interest in being a "me too" builder if you know what I mean. As far as box builders go, I'm very picky about who's work I like. Pound That Sound comes to mind as someone who's quality is impressive to me. The way I look at it, is that anyone can cut a hole and stick in an aeroport or make a simple slot port, but it takes skill to make something unique AND effective. This is just my opinion and I'm not taking anything away from those who disagree or build purely for function, I personally just try to take it to another level. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so I can't be happy turning out work I'm not proud of. Just for the record also, I don't consider myself to be a hardcore SPL guy, I love to compete and build for others to compete, but I'm not gonna run out and spend $1000 to gain a tenth of a db. Just not my top priority in life so I try to do good with what I have to work with. I guess that's pretty obvious though, since I'm competing with hand me down Alpines...lol [/QUOTE]
