lolz, Yeah, every little bit of the box is glued up tight, no bit of air gets out besides the port, I just got bored. I am rebuilding the box once more though, making it the 4th box in 6 months. It sounds amazing, but I know I could have done a little better, as I had to cut everything with my jig saw, and will use my dad's table saw next time, but I won't be getting my subs for a while, so the box is coming out for now.

I like this thread, but my .02 is get rid of the scosche rcas, trust me man they the conductivity of a damp rock.

Yeah, I want to ditch them, but there are so many damn brands of RCAs, and I want to find good ones that won't break the bank. I want to get Knu Konceptz ones, but I'm not sure which ones to get. I'm looking into getting the Krystal ones.

Got these in a couple weeks ago, 4 of my 6 sets to be installed. I'm currently waiting on my Hifonics ZXI150.4 amp to power them, they will all be getting 150 per set.

As soon as I'm done with the explorer build I will be starting mine up again, door panels will be the first thing to do.

Yeah, a pair of them sound great at like 50rms each, I can't wait to hear all 8 sets of components getting 150rms to each set.

I will run my 4 pairs of O2 AIR63s off of this one amp at 2 ohms per channel, then I will get a ZXI200.2 to run my back speakers. Just running off of my computer PSU turned into a 12volt inverter it sounds far cleaner and crisper on the highs than my Dual XPA4640 did.

The high notes are crisp, the vocals are clear and it gets LOUD. And you can tell there are tweeters and mid-ranges in the sets, where as the Dual made it sound barely any better than a good set of 3-way speakers. I can't wait to get them in my car. I'll just have to work my ass off this weekend and get them stuffed in the car, if the weather permits, that is.
