  1. Ya it does look a bit shifted, I guess these are the oldest speakers I have ever looked at lol.

    when i was a kid my dad worked for a high end home audio store, and he always used to laugh about selling bose brand to people. in his opinion, bose used low quality drivers in well designed enclosures. i don't know if it's the truth, but it has always been something that has stuck with me.

    Your dad is correct! And for the normal yeppy "no offence to the bose owners" it fits what they need perfectly. Some people do buy them because there small and hide away, but its set in most peoples mind bose is top dollar stuff. Take two towers from B&W or seas (those are entry lvl companies around the same price range) with a denon amp/pre amp and it will merc bose.

  2. the only problem(s) i foresee with just flipping the box are

    1) there should probably be about 4 inches from the port to the hatch, like i said, you don't want to suffocate the ports.

    2) with the port on the bottom, sometimes you can have flex issues without enough bracing.

    proof: @ about 2 minutes

    Now thats alota port flex! Daaamn

  3. Damn, a TC Epic @ 31hz what kinda music does your dad listen to? :lol:

    Nice box by the way.

    He listens to a lil dubstep and decaf..

    Hahah jk mostly country and some rock. But i plan on redoing his doors also and those have 8s in them also so its going to get set up with a three way useing the holes in the rear as the mids then two front as the woofers. So sub stage will do 0-60hz, front doors will do 55-1500 then so forth. Thats sorta the plan right now.. Seems as if it will work very well but i have no idea

  4. Im sittin here bored and i have a few pictures of a 8inch tc sounds epic build i did for my dad. Nothin to crazy. The box is tuned to 31ish hz and around 1cubic foot before displacments. Baffle is 1.5inches thick.. The amp powering this is a rf prime 500 ran to 4ohms. Here are some pictures of it.

    The box was sprayed with clear to seal it and thats about it. It turned out dead square and pretty smooth as were in the pictures it doesnt seem so. Sorry i didnt take any pictures after i put it in, but it went into a 2002 dodge 2500

  5. For there to be any difference at all (though still only noticeable on the TL) then the paint would have to be glass smooth.

    This!!! I honestly think it should gain a couple of tenths on the meter but i haven´t test that one yet :)

    Should also try textured paint to see if it has a "golfball affect" could score higher then smooth!

  6. I got it!! Audioaddict thats for the help! I did wrinkle a corner of it while being pissed off but the tint is so dark it isnt visible at least not at night, but when i get more money i will redo it. Other then the wrinkle it came out perfect! Looks pro

    Tomaro ill give the windows a shot!
