Well i'll be damned if that isn't BRILLIANT! You just drill a 1/4" hole and drop that thing in and twist it? Then use the supplied hex head screws to screw sub into them? Or do you make the hole for these say 3/8" and squeeze it in there? Hmm. I am going to order a few packs of these up for a box build I will be doing soon. Thanks bro! EDIT: Reading reviews, you HAMMER it in under the sub, then screw in as you normally would. Logical.

Hey guys quick question, might be missing a key part though.. Being as its 4am, I couldnt make a video to describe what I am saying, by pointing it out. But as we all I am sure have noticed, screwing into MDF works good the first time... what if you need to remove the sub ONCE? or maybe twice? Hell maybe 3x... From my personal experience, after you remove the screw once..thats pretty much it for that hole, your not gonna get a good secure hold from that same screw hole again...just because of the composition of MDF id suppose... Now maybe I am doing something wrong...but I don't think so.. So I came up with an idea...which some might all a little dumb..but I think it is quite smart, when flush mounting the subs, route out the ring maybe 1/8" - 1/4" deeper, and make an aluminum ( or similar metal ) ring and glue this down to the flush mounted ring, so you would be able to remove the screws from the metal and get a secure fit every time... Now not that I remove my subs often, I try to keep it to a minimum. But this is just something I was pondering while sitting here drawing up boxes on paper. I looked through a few pages of this section and couldnt find anything..mighta skipped over it. But what do you guys use if you remove your subs?

Alright, well the Poll is taking a while to get to 10 votes on one... & I havn't cast a vote for it.. VOTE guys! and once once of them gets to 10, thats the design I will use... I have some pretty good ideas in mind... which would make a decent build log. Although this build will only be put in for a few months. Its gonna be clean as hell. With lots of pics.. Also, anybody know what I should do with my current box? The 4 10"s sealed... Probably not the best box.. First box I ever made. But its SOLID as a rock. I guess I could try to sell it? or scrap it and use it to make speaker rings... hmm. thats an idea that sounds like a winner to me... Either way - GET THE VOTES IN!

I like the "Couple Big Rigs....Horror movie style" idea. Cant remember what film that ones from...but iirc that one was quite disturbing. Sick bastards is all I can say about this one..

I think I might be trying to ask too much from them.. Keeping in mind net volume... it would want like 4.4-4.8cf after displacement... I am coming up with 4.5 net volume after .25 sub displacement - not including bracing or anything. With the dimensions of 14.5h x 30w x 25d Using 1 6" aero at 13" L ( i assume torres calc includes the aero port volume in the net )

yes, I would more than likely have to drop the box in this way. Cuz I dont think I will be able to do it through the trunk Which is no big deal. seats drop with the pull of a lever. And removing driver/passenger seats is like 10 bolts. Had to do it when I was doing other work. I agree with ya though tonedeaf - I think slot ports look much better. But they also take up lot more room to get same output :/ I am quite creative though. I can come up with a good looking aero if I must

13h x 4w x 22L gives me 34.81hz and it takes another 5" length to get to 32hz... Might as well stick with the 34..

GOD DAMN that shit looks like it slammin I am pretty sure I could get pretty close to that off these though...Hell they sound good in the ported box I built for em. But I'd like to see how they do in ported I put in those dimensions. And liked it. Port facing the rear or cabin? Sounds good... How do you think that would stack against the dimensions/port on the other post I quoted? Just wondering, cuz I was messing with it and came to a conclusion that a slot port was out of the question. But I wanna go with what will be the best I really like that video though... but his is ported towards the cabin. Any special reason why u say toward rear? Hmmm... I wanna ask for someone to draw me something in sketchup - but I dont want them to be wasting their time and effort if I dont know whether to go slot or ported.... Gonna make a poll after I post this...first to 10 wins. LOL

Widened it to 3" and extended it to 32" and it dropped my tuning to 26hz and Net Volume to 3.96 anddd only gave me a port area of 39in^2 I dont know what I am doing...maybe demanding too much out of the little space I got? I just kinda figured since they want 2.4cf for 2 subs ported after displacement. It would be a doable, but tight fit Once again :

I am on my MacBook Pro right now, so I dont have access to the Torres calc. Maybe you could do it for me Since I completely overlooked that in my design..guess I was just paying attention to the tuning more than the hz With my dimensions it is kinda hard though...since I havn't built too many boxes.

Hey guys need a little help with box design ( more visualizing a concept if anybodys got time to draw something up in sketchup for me ) Got 4 10"s Memphis M3s The max trunk space I have in my 1995 2dr Civic EX is 33w x 14.75h x 25d comes out to i think 5.3cf which might be a tad tight, but I should be able to fit it. ( dont wanna build the box in the car ) Want a ported box, with all subs facing up - not sure which way to port it whether the port should be up facing or forward towards the back of the car or towards the cabin? ( what do you guys think? ) Here is some images of the information sheets I got from memphis.. First one is all the specs of the sub - mine is the second column M3104D Second one is what they told em for enclosure recommendations ( they sent me a huge PDF for bout 20 subs, so I just screenshotted and copy/pasted what I need and made my own image ) I think the Optional tab is their form of recommended. And the third one is just some calculations I made with Torres Calc not 100% right specs but somewhere in the ballpark. Anyways, to sum it up, what do you guys think would be best for the port firing direction? And - Anybody wanna draw me up a sketchup free if possible..

Hit up MechMan ! sure he could build ya a custom one. Make a build log bro! Lots of pics and ill be tuned!

Ah ok, I wasnt sure, When I downloaded yours it came out at like 640x480 resolution I recorded mine at 1440x900 Photobucket might resize it. Either way heres mine - http://s113.photobucket.com/albums/n204/ricky400082/?action=view&current=ScreenFlow.mp4

Oh, Beat me to it. But on his post you can just scroll over the vid - go to file and the drop down box says Download. Oh well, now I got two. EDIT: Mine is a fullscreen rip... I will post the link in a few minutes when it uploads.

I got the .MOV file. Want me to email it to ya.

Oh man I got a good kick out of this one. I was going to download it. But it looks like you got it figured out

I am not 100% sure man. Maybe someone else can chime in. But I would assume ripping it with itunes isn't gonna cause distortion... Shouldnt effect quality at all.

Fyerbyrd22 I think I can answer this one. But someone else please chime in if I am correct. I believe from what I could gather, the best method to use would be to use the most often used form. So if you used your ipod 99% of the time to listen to your music in your car, then rip the songs off the disk and put em on your ipod, and use your ipod to tune it, if you listen to CD's 99% of the time then use the CD to tune it. I gather that the CD is just to provide the exact clean, non clipped, tones for tuning. But someone feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

This, I'm tired of guessing where my gains should be set. Agreed - But my eyes are drawn to your avatar. LMAO.

Chyeah! Sad part is they might pull a quick one on somebody and make that 2.7k profit...

Damn. When you were backin that thing out of the garage that thing is CLEANNN love the blue accent calipers. The exhaust... mm. Just right.

You left your dome light on for a week? Hell I believe it tho!

I dont think the last post posted - Quote " Aweeeshittttt - going to find build log! " Nice build maneee

if you wait for it to dry it does Out of curiosity - Why were you routering screw holes?
