    Sweet, same kind then.

    Was just wondering how much better they are/look/feel then because I did see a pair of sidewinders with the all red-connectors and they looked and felt real cheap.

    I added another coat of primer after that last shot (that was months ago), but no I did not.

    It's in Chris' possession now, and I believe it's still looking the same but I bet he's enjoying it much more than I did. I needed a musical sub, that sub I made was built for HT and man did it dig deep!

    yep she's mine and I treat her well. That sub is great and even turned up half way it will rattle my apartment with no problem.....and yes I wanted to paint her this summer but due to all the rain I haven't had a 3 day span of when I've been home to do it and let it dry out....I might wait till the fall when it cools off so its not so humid outside so the paint doesn't get runny or does something stupid...

    I saw this thread a few weeks ago after I got my 60's and thought I would try it out since the little Kenwood 10" I was using wasn't keeping up.

    Used a Titanic 12 and a 240 PE amp in a ported 4 cf box. :D And I didn't have such a good experience at Home Depot since they only had 4 X 8 sheets of MDF and said to place an order to have it cut and come back in 3 days, it "should" be ready. WTF? :confused:

    Since the sub is centered under my plasma I made it wider than tall and found 3/4 MDF shelving that was 23 3/4 X 48 which was much more manageable and I didn't have to wait for cutting.

    This thing is nice though. I've never had a "real" sub and this thing fully pressurizes the room. For about $300 total this thing rocks

    Sorry for the bad phone pic

    IDK if you can even see the laminate contact paper stuff I used from PE

    Definitely an easy, fun project for anyone :D
