Big sexy.

Why did you decide to seal off the sub? Did you try it out ported and not like it?

Yeah, I was going to try and stuff it too, but I never got around to it.

I was going to seal it the easy way and just put some mdf over it to see how it sounds, instead I cut it out and turning it into an amp rack, I need the space for the rack anyway.

Going to get another 3000d sometime around january, and switch the components to an active setup.

I may have spent about 10 hours on both of them together, here and there.

The tweeters are sealed, in thier own casing, so yes.

Nice work on those tweeter pods. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I'll be watching this thread for more pics.

Well here is what I have been up to, I had to wait till payday and get a sawzall so that I can start the "port to amp rack" change to the box. I tried using the other saws I had and It wasn't happening.

This is all the progress so far, I gotta wait some more (after the holidays) so that I can get a new blade for the skill saw and some MDF so I can start putting the rack together.

Made a little video, after I was finally able to pull video off my camera and get wmm to work!

I'm not much for editing, I tried to make it flow a little better and removed crappy footage.

The video starts out with burning up a lil 6.5" component, but if you fast forward I have the lms 5400 free air on it.

I got some stuff done today, sealed the box in/amp rack, and got my power wiring almost done. Not as much as I hoped but I got a late start.
