Good job man. Looks good. Might I ask though...whats all that white stuff in the box. I seen alot of members using that stuff...at first I thought it was glue but then I figured its a form of silicone sealant. Any feed back on that would be great.

Yes

Your exactly right it is a silicon sealant. I have used this with all my boxes i make. Specially mdf (medium density fiber wood" sounds great, i use it to seal any air escape so i can have a perfect seald box, where as if you pushed on the sub it would go back to its regular position slowly. "known as a tight *** seal"

Not to get off topic but yeah i'm going to quick... KJ is right....sony subs are the most expensive kitchen magnets i've ever seen (not heard)! Went to best buy to look around with some friends...listened to a pentagon shaped sony sub and it didn't move any air! None of the sony subs did! I've heard how much they suck but now i know! Two DUAL brand subs sounded awesome compared to that sony crap.

Yup they are crap for sure. I just cant belive how bad Sony got in car audio the past 6-7 years. Its almost embarassing.

I'm not saying kicker isn't good. The X's are amazing subs, just, they're more all SPL than anything. I dunno, like RE has great "SQL" subs that are pushing some great SPL numbers, but also have good SQ.

*Shrug* I know it depends person to person really... I also got 2 L7's, but after riding in the car with a couple people with them, I decided not to, there were just some Hz they couldn't hit

I was just pointing out you were missing some good sub manufacturers
