| alright.. i have not heard drivers side... most of the boxes i have seen have been ported in the middle or accross the top... i figure i can run like 3 6" precision ports and it should be enough... im just worried about keeping the wall braced with 360 lbs of subs |

| yep that was me, what i did to get all the curves right for the face plat was took card board and cut and shaved untill it fit right then trasfered it to the wood,also made strips and taped them together. if u double the front or tripple the front it will suport those subs _________________ sb2 sb3 mod 4000 team advantage audio sb3 3rd 2009 finals 150.4 mod 4000 4th 2009 finals 152.0 i have a tl in okc eara

| basickly it all depends on what u plan on running as far as orginazations u want it to load on the pasengers side kick so if u port it on the drivers side and subs on pasengers side it will load in the kick pasegerside _________________ sb2 sb3 mod 4000 team advantage audio sb3 3rd 2009 finals 150.4 mod 4000 4th 2009 finals 152.0 i have a tl in okc eara

I was at stringtown in the sierra witht he 26's.. I started to build a show truck but got started doing this after i spent all my money in my truck... haha.. im struggling now but im learning alot every build so this should be a good experience |

| I did not see any of the meca... I think it is screwed up how they have it anyway as far as the money... you are better off building a wall and getting 3rd in modex then running under the glass and getting 1st in modified but 4th overall and out of the money... thats what got me at stringtown...i only hit 146.5 because i kept my boxes low |

| Build what ur budget allows and ull do well but I'll tell ya what makes sense on paper doesn't always make sense in numbers the more u build and change sometimes the worse it gets n sometimes better it's just part of the guessing game if it was simple everyone would be doing 180z _________________ Team DB Drive ]Team Big'Un Broken Silence C.C.
