  1. If you want a manageable magnum load for two legged critters that wear shoes and a mask try CorBon 165gr ammo. For dangerous 4 legged game 300+ gr bullets solid lead provide devastating penetration. Awesome light shoe out of a snubby like that too!

    I definatly will get some light loads for target practice next time, after shooting about 6 heavy loads my hand is buzzing.
  2. Mdf sucks to paint. The best way to get a good finish is to coat the box with fiberglass resin and then sand it smooth. Then just paint it like you would anything else

    I agree with this, the wood will absorb too much primer and it will be uneven without a ton of prep, coating it with resin, sanding down then primering as normal will give you the best finish.
  3. I was wanting to know who else to PM about my membership.I have sent messages to Steve and through the support mail through pay pals email links for SMD.To have them returned saying this is for sub orders.I purchased the silver on march 31st and have not heard anything.I have PMed Steve but no response there is only so much he can do with everything he has going on.Without post jacking I don't know what els to do.I hope this don't upset any of the mods or you Steve.

    What does supporting member get you?
  4. Well problem solved, I called jl audio technical and I have to say they are the most helpful technical support ive ever dealt with over the phone, emailing was a waste of time so dont bother. He gave me the first set of volumes in like 2 mins but that was tuned to 58hz, So I asked if it could be a lower tune for a convertible, he said sure give me a couple minutes to model it and these are what the box volumes will be for 2 jl 13w7:

    this is the first set of volumes he gave me

    2.0 sealed net

    3.0 ported net

    100 sq inch port

    16 in long tuned to 58hz

    that was too high for what im putting it in so heres the 2nd set of numbers he gave me after modeling it.

    2.25 sealed side net

    3.5 ported side net

    110 sq inch port

    22.5 in long

    tuned to 52 hz, will go from 31hz to 90hz

    So thanks to the people that helped out, this is a huge relief.

  5. Right on man for the help, I just want deep bass, and with a convertible I am just worried that it will end up sounding like shit if i dont make the box correctly. Due to the curves, contours, and 8" step up in the trunk ill be making box entirely from fiberglass, already have the bottom molded and built up, just waiting on size before i cut it to match.

  6. Polyester lightweight body filler is by far the best. It is so easy to smooth out and sands like chalk almost. I will never use pink bondo ever again. I use evercoat brand usually because thats what my paint store stocks. Once you go polyester, you never go back
