EricR Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Well its not much but its a start. Ordered a fully loaded BTL 15" this morning. Going to run it off my T1k for now plan on getting a T3k for it. I just wanted something other than my p312's and i know this one 15 will drown out tha 2 p3's. Didnt have any tools so i went to home depot and dropped 3 bills on some box tools. Also got a pair of Infinity Reference highs to go in place of the factory highs, they sound awesome even off the HU. Im going to pic 2 sheets of 3/4" mdf tomorrow, gonna have to borrow my wifes truck. Heres a few pics....more pics tomorrow. i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?
