blarrrrrg no. I got 1 in yesterday and free aired it and was pretty impressed...so i figured i'd build a box today and see what it could do... but I'm getting stuck cause I dont really know what size stuff to use.

wellll shit. I guess I'll just build the little sealed box for it for now instead. guess i could always use an 8 box in the future anyways.

go to free box designs and pull the the .9 cubed tuned to 32 hz i think it is..

that would be great..

Got my box built and sealed up and all pretty. flush mount double baffle. re 8... pretty impressive i gotta say. I'm curious how loud it'd be ported now. I'll keep my little 8 sealed box though. .5 feet. I'm sure I'll use it again sometime lol
