hey i just bought this box off ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=WDVW
i am still waiting to receive it and i bought a sub but now i dont think it will fit. The dimensions of the sub are overall diameter of 11 1/16", mounting diameter of 9.5", mounting depth of 5". While the description says its a 9" whole he has subs of larger than 9" fitting it. So will this sub fit or not? by the way its an mtx thunder 8000. Thanks for the help.

 

I had to shave the diameter bigger i am running the same subs but i got dual its simple with alittle work it will fit

 

A few questions how does it sound? will one be enough im not looking for anything crazy but just a little better than my old system of 200 watt rms. 3rdly, im not handy at all, how do i go about shaving it down? Is it just sanding?

 

i basicly got a dremal sander and worked at it for 15 min. i didnt have anything else to sand it down since i dont work with wood. sound well i hear you need to power it with a decent amp. im waiting for my Mono MTX amp

 

From what i hear they are actually great subs. I bought them b/c they seemed to do what i needed happy medium of subs, and i saw that they installed them on someones car in some MTV whips ride seemed to have sounded good according to who installed them

 

thanks for all the help guys, again though im extremely not handy i dont think i have a dremmel sander, could i just use regular sand paper? also how tight of a fit should it be?

 

Sand just enough so that it fits. Sand a little and then see if it fits. Repeat.

 

thanks can i use just regular sandpaper?

 

Yes. Just try to keep the sanding even. Move around the opening instead of focusing on 1 spot at a time. It takes some effort but it's tough to screw up. Just keep in mind that trying to fit a 9.5" sub-width in a 9" hole means that you only need to sand down like .25" all around.
