  I haven't got it built because I lack the skills and equipment to do so.
  
  I have a buddy with both but getting our schedules to align has been hard.

  Flat pack purchased. Going to ride to the Stereo Integrity shop and pick up the 18" sub in a few days. Big subs rule.

  Forget that thing! Look at the HST 11! It's going to redefine what a small footprint can output. CRAAAZY stroke and plays super deep with a motor borrowed from Sundown.
  
  Or for those of you who need to keep the Mrs. happy in terms of WAF, buy some BM MkIVs and build them under each seat, or perhaps 4 under the couch. She won't complain when it starts vibrating right under her

  I am a bass head at heart. Not bass you catch with a lure (I like them as well), but bass that damages the foundation of your house.

  Picked up the HT18 from Nick at SI yesterday. Very informative and nice guy. This project is almost ready. Got the flat pack box, feet, binding posts and paint. Just waiting on the mounting hardware and Acousta-Stuf to arrive. I should have plenty of time to complete this over the holidays.

  The flat pack from http://www.diysoundgroup.com/ is amazing. Very easy to build and cuts are perfect. Got it together and painted. I used the Acry-Tech DuraTex paint from PartsExpress and like the look. It looks good in a Man Cave:

  Bump for this.... @Conradicles which duratex kit did you get? Our boxes are identical so i'd rather NOT buy the gallon unless I have to... did you get by with the quart size or did you buy the full gallon?
