is that before or after displacment? and tuned to 38eh. what kinda music you listen too? if rap its going to sound okayyy not as good as like 35 and below

Steve I don't know why but everytime I see your new paint I want a Dr. Pepper...... is this normal?

heres an analogy for you. running a high power stereo without a fuse is like having unprotected sex with that hot chick at the bar with the sketchy sexual history. Sure you may be fine and nothing happens but that one time something does happen you're fucked.

i dont want woofer broke like bass sound clip clip and voice coil overheat

thats a pretty damn big box...my btl box will only be 3 cubes after dis and at 34 hz btl like low tuned boxes also what kinda of power you throwing at it... if you thrown lots of power that box is def to big and you will take a chance at bottoming it out

you have a 15" right what do you mean by bottoming it out? breaking the box? you know the most rms you can throw at it?

He means botteming your woofer out. Like pitting it. running out of coil when in is on the in motion. I'm pretty sure thats what he meant????? could be wrong. And the reason he is most likly thinking this is you may have too large of a box which would mean too much air in the box and the sub wouldn't be tight enough to keep it suspended. It would be sloppy and loose.???? IDK my descriptive words suck..lol
