I'm in the states but there is a guy on caco who makes them cheap. I emailed him about some I'll see if I can find his email. Also I'm tuned in man!

Thanks buddy! We managed to grab a couple local, hopefully box build will be up this weekend.... today we decided to start mocking things up temporally as I'm just hurting to hear these things!

So we started making room for one of the 2 back battery's to fit in the left quater, box is going to be 12 cu/ft before port. 2 8" aeros is the plan.

provided everything goes smoothly tomorrow should have the box assembled, braced, subs in, and amp wired for testing tomorrow. Just dying to hear it, lol. Decided to go bottom slot port, and subs inverted.

EVERYTHING is going to be torn out soon to be deadened, resin the box, run more wire under the carpet, etc

thanks guys. yeah the 2500.1 is ran at .5 ohm. was demo'ing all day saturday subs or amp didn't even get warm. Voltage was fairly steady for what it was too. Only the front battery is wired up for now, 1 run of 0 for power and 1 run of ground from the front battery to the 2500.1. back battery will be wired up soon as I get some extra time.

TO DO STILL:
wire up back battery
deaden EVERYTHING
add extra bracing to the box
PL/resin in the box
rhino liner the box

thats all I can think of at the moment. lol

So we threw the box together its about 10 cubes at 29hz before port/subs. Probably should of done it differently but i wanted to try this and see how it goes/sounded. So heres how that all went..........

we used sky high audio cables 8 gauge for speaker wire. AWESOME quality stuff if your in the market for some wire check these guys out!

mounted the 2500.1 on the back seat, threw it all in and called it a day! Left the shop at 12am... few hours of sleep and off to a show the next morning managed to do a 148 on the termlab @ 46hz ... Aiming for the 50s after all my to-do things are complete.

been running it all inverted given the size of the box, port back for now. I'm surprised the number i achieved given this box has got to be choking these subs out.
