OF course not. You are in Wisconsin. It's cold there. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

a few thoughts...like that one guy said, i would have put the sub more to the left and maybe put two braces, one on each side...(you can't ever have too much bracing lolz //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif )
and i would have rounded the braces inside, makes it alittle bit stronger i think, just a personal preference...

That was my original plan.. I was going to mount the speaker dead center, and incorporate two picture frame braces, but since the port wall to the left doubles as a brace itself, it wasn't nessesary to use two braces. In fact, a box of this size doesn't require any bracing @ all. I was just feeling up to the challenge, and I learned from my previous mistake of not putting braces in the box. So... all in all, I'm pretty satisfied with the box other than the subwoofer hole, but you don't see it with the sub in there anyways... Thanks for the replys and stay tuned for the carpet job within the next two weeks.

Any box that is make the correct way does not need bracing, but i would have used a threaded rod

When its 48" wide and 23" tall...you need bracing //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Carpet and terminals is on the way from partsexpress. This local shop tried to charge me $15.00 per linear yard for some carpet!??! Another thread suggested going to CC or BB, but they didn't have any carpet there. Anyways, I pretty much did the bracing for the experience. The box is very solid and doesn't leak so I'm very happy with the outcome of my project.

walmart or pepboys

its not wide but you get 3 yards or something like that for $8

Well here's some updates on the build up.

KnuKonceptz FTW!

Extra wires.

Still some usable trunk space.

So...

How loud is it??

So...

Pretty loud. Isn't flexing my roof or anything since it isn't an SPL setup, but it gets louder than my 4.5 CuFt @ 35hz dual 12" L7's off a bx1500d.

Updates:

Well I got burned once when my car got broken into... So I'm not going to take any chances with this new setup.

Here's a little clip of the little guy. Haven't got my hands on a DMM so I didn't set the gains properly yet.

Do all xxx sound a bit "Hollow" like that? Sounds fine in car, but with the trunk open it sounds a bit "empty"

that is the xbl^2 technology. Pretty much everyone who has owned other speakers, non xbl^2, then go to a woofer that has.. experiences what you are hearing.
