yeah, i have been wanting a pair for about a year and half since i worked as an installer in bryan, tx last year. finally i got them and i love em, even though i have only had them installed for like 3 hours and most of that has been while it was to late to sit out in the car considering its like 11:45. will i guess its never too late for that, but you know.

thats a good idea but i really dont feel like going anywhere to do it right now. i can wait. as far as tuning, i need a spl meter or an epic 150 or something. more money i dont have. if someone has one i can borrow though, that would be awesome, hint, hint .

Looks like you are trying to link them from a web location. Just attach them.

Looks awesome! I love that bird on the box, I might have to steal that idea when I build mine. Seeing as how fosgate under rates their amps, how much juice are those bad boys getting?

my paper that came w/ the amp said 477 WRMS. the subs have to share that which is unfortunate considering they will take up to 750 WRMS each. i dont think i would keep my hearing long with that though.

luckily she likes to listen to it almost as loud as i do. i couldnt get her to set on one of them though . shes really cool and probably my biggest supporter. that includes almost all aspects of my car. she is also my top critic, but it is constructive usually. i do all the work and she tells me whats wrong with it. if im lucky she'll tell me whats right w/ it too.

they werent cheap. but i did not pay what you would normally have to retail. they run in $350 range per sub but i got them for far less. brand new and warrantied (i.e. not off ebay).

as far as SQ, amazing. they are so smooth. i have seen better SQ setups but when you are going for SPL and get SQ to boot, major bonus. i highly recommend them to anyone who has the money.

I hope you telling me all that wasn't an attempt to get me to say that I'd like to be your g/f.

i dont have the blueprints from it. i mostly designed it as i went. i could probably build one for you, but if you have ttop it wont work. might try to take some pics of the box out of the car, but it fits so good, it will be hard to get it out. its heavy too.
