Now that my mint SRS search is done ( Yeah right 
) , I am moving onto a sub build that was on the backburner because I was too busy on craigslist 
Like the vintage Polks, I like radiators...mostly because when you get into the REALLY high power...xmax that you measure with a tape measure subs...port huffing is a serious issue even with 6" diameter ports.
All drivers/radiators are TC Sounds...I will show design/specs/progress/pics...as I go.
Right now are some pics of the radiators I am using...being off work right now for a tweaked back they are the only things in this build I can lift at the moment for pics
I have to recruit friends for this build. There will be 4 of these radiators in the build.....and 2 active drivers...all with Titanium cones

Those are the new A5-350's in the paint shop.
I have a A5-300, love it to death. "He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." Friedrich Nietzsche -

Oh yeah...their ready made subs are awesome too....I was just showing their shop and warehouse in the pics....I can't wait for my custom enclosure to get here. The paint is awesome as well...reminds me of truck bed liner The first rule of Fight Club is you don't talk about Fight Club -
There's a pickup truck in my g/f's apartment complex that's painted entirely of bed liner. I need to take pictures of it."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." Friedrich Nietzsche
