I thought about DD's but I was lead to believe that they would like a ported box, not sealed. All of these will work well in a sealed box about this size too.

In the sealed box test with 8's sometimes back...DD's came on top out of several subs tested sealed....they are very impressive in compact sealed as well....

T-nuts have a nasty reputation for backing out when you try to loosen the bolt, instead of holding into MDF, hence having to saw your box open to remove your speaker.

That would **** major donkey dick. I won't be using T-nuts.

What is wrong with t-nuts? Never used them and I am curious the downside to using them. Are "hurricane" nuts any better? http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&Partnumber=081-1084

Just get some threaded inserts. They won't come out.

Who did you get those RF's from? I wonder if they were the ones I had //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif If you decide to sell the AA's let me know //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Rockford's RFD2208 HX2 dual 4's 400/800
I am interested in these if you decide to part with them.

Subscribed since I want to run a pair of 8's. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

Ok, I should know this weekend. So I'll let you know.

Got my amp today! PG Xenon 1200.1

I take back what I said about setting up this weekend. I still have to wait on my PG x200.4 to arrive to power front stage //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

With the xenon 1200.1 it does the same power 1-4 ohms. Example I can wire 2 dual 4's to 1 or 4 ohms. How would I dial in the voltage, although I do have a hand held Oscope, but

SQRT of 1200 (1200x1 ohm)= 34.64 v

SQRT of 1200 (1200x4 ohm) = 69.2 v

Something like this

http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=364&filter=threaded%20inserts

For more selection, go to http://www.mcmaster.com and look under the fastening column on the right side and click threaded inserts link. I'm a fan of the self tapping knife thread hex drive ones, they won't pull out. Period.

Not trying to be an *** to you specifically, but does anybody read or do people just look at the pics?

Note the one pic that the caption above it reads "the piece I'll be using"

T-nuts have a nasty reputation for backing out whnen you try to loosen the bolt, instead of holding into MDF, hence having to saw your box open to remove your speaker. Ive had this happen to me, but didnt have to saw my box up at least I guess. Was still a pita.
I dont know if hurricane nuts are prone to this in MDF also. Never used them.

There are easy ways to solve this, put a little glue on the back of the T-nut before pounding it in, or don't push the screw into the box with all your strength, unscrew it while pulling the screw towards you, voila problems solved.
