I went with the kicker coaxial set. I taped up a bunch of holes and cut some melamine to fill the big holes and taped everything up on the drivers side. The weird thing was that they had the wires going out of the door and then back into the door at the drivers mount so I taped the slots and without totally cranking it because I still have a door to do it sounds much better.  Now I’m just trying to make my mind up on what kind of enclosure I want to mess with. I know it’s recommended for a very small sealed box, which is not something that I have ever messed with. I wish I had a computer to model it but if I have found a handy little calculator for bandpass enclosures. I don’t know how accurate it is but I think I could get 3db gain and have a relatively flat response where I want the sub to play with a port coming in the rear speaker hole. I’m only trying to put 100w on the sub so I’m gonna go to some pawn shops amp shopping I think. The calculator I found is here <a href="https://www.ajdesigner.com/fl_subwoofer/subwoofer.php" target="_blank">https://www.ajdesigner.com/fl_subwoofer/subwoofer.php</a> I have access to a table saw and I plan on doing an external aero if I go the way of the bandpass. If I hate it I can chop the box up use the sealed section and have some legs to down fire it. Please let me know if you think this driver doesn’t model well. I’m aware that I’ll not be able to hear distortion or clipping if I smoke it the guy also had an older punch8 that I got my subwoofer from <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😂" title="😂" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f602.png" /> ok I am prepared for the hate I said bandpass.</p></blockquote><p></p>
