I just finished and installed my DC audio M3-8. I built the box out of Baltic birch (the real shit) and installed LEDs and polycarbonate. Let me know what you think. The subwoofer sounds amazing and its not even broke in yet. Hits the lows very well for an 8" sub. The box specs are. You can see my build by clicking on the link in my sig. Oh its in the back of a 1999 Toyota Tacoma 2wd 11.5 H 26 L 10.5 D Gross volume 1.28 Net volume .76 this is after sub and bracing displacement. Physical port length 30.25" Tuning is 36.15 HZ Port height 9" Port width 1.5" Port area 13.50 Port area per foot 17.85 Port ratio 1:6

Some might ask why i didn't put an ipad into the dash to begin with. Well for starters, there wasn't a such a thing as an ipad when i installed the current setup (in my Tahoe). The current setup is a Mac Mini with VGA (and USB) out to a 10.2" touch screen monitor. It is all ran off of a dc/dc power converter. The mac mini feeds the Rockford Fosgate 3sixty.3 via optical (tosslink) cable. It sounds great! It is nice, it is faithful, has never givin' me any problem. It is just out dated. The clarity of a modern ipad compared to the screen that is in there is mind blowing. Plus, my sausage fingers have a hard time scrolling with the old 10.2". It's just had it's time. Not to mention, i leave it on 24/7 which causes parasitic battery drain if don't keep the Tahoe on a charger all day every day. Shutting down works, but who has time for that. The mac mini has probably been shut down 2 times in 7 or 8 years. Never skipped, never froze up, never gave me any problems. Still on the original operating system too. I have no idea but put it this way, windows XP was still a hot operating system when i got this. LOL So now to the topic at hand. I have been wanting to do this for a while. Today i swooped up it's replacement. A 12.9" Ipad Pro - 256 gigs and just to make sure i don't lose signal, i got cellular on it as well. These pictures are just early photo's of the product. I am waiting on my semi-oneoff-ish side slider kit from Doug at Soundman! He don't really make them but he made me one! Here is the pics

on a side note, the photo upload feature is awesome!! It worked great! i think i will be switching over from Photobucket finally! Supporting members all have access to this. Enjoy!
