I played music while applying the tape so I could correct any voice coil/magnet interference on the fly. It bloody worked! The speakers sound amazingly good with only a little cone bottoming at very high listening volumes.

    This is not why God invented duct tape. God invented humanspeakers.com for this purpose...

    I guess I have built a dual subwoofer box out of cardboard when I was in college, so I can't judge. (The box even had holes in it :o)

    Too bad we can't edit posts...

    I like the bus, but I'm not exactly sure what is the point of some of his other stuff (like the guitar and PC). I've seen home-made RV's before like this one though: www.metamorphobus.com
