Damn im good.... 2.041 ft^3

Didn't get much done today... woke up a little late


Stripping her down to her birthday suit



NUDES!!!


Who need a terminal cup when you can run straight wire?



WTF?


make more sense now?


quick test... precision isnt necessary here



I drill holes for fun



cant decide which design to go with

the small circles are ports i will add if not satisfied with the output

the grey will be silver vinyl and the black will be black vinyl or something similar

im leaning towards #1

got my vinyl today.... so i put it on everything




check out my toe in the bottom right... Note to self: dont drop a sheet of mdf on your foot









ITS WORKING!!!!


should be able to knock out the false floor tomorrow and have everything looking sharp

i just got frowns from sealing my W7

ordering my ports as we speak

havnt touched the gain (still at 38.7v) since i took it out of the small box and now its slapping in the new one at wide open good thing i planned ahead on my design to accommodate ports

guess 2ft^3 and 3lbs of polyfill is too much for a sealed w7

upon further tuning it sounds amazing still being sealed. im actually reconsidering selling my setup now.

every punch is so crisp and it can get down and low with the best of them.

im actually really damn happy with how it came out
