    I love seeing all of your enclosures!!! The wood grain pops when you get the conditioner on!!!!! I love to see the grain when putting it on the wood. Just like the video where you are putting on the dark stain on the enclosure while talking to us, that BEAUTIFUL GRAIN POPPING OUT as you were rubbing it in!!! It was AWESOME to see the grain come out!! I know I'm weird to some people for loving something so little like that but think about how many years it took the trees to grow and it's just something I love to see that God created for us to enjoy!!!

    This is awesome true shit preach. I went through all these processes to build my box for two Kicker Q class 10. And them tens blow everybody around me away. I got a 3.85 Cube box tuned at 33 Hertz. Took all my time to learn what I needed to do and built my own box to kicker recommendations

    I just ordered all types of power tools,bits,ect ect to start making my own box back stock to start building custom boxes. Also learning to build subwoofers cause nobody in my area of Scotts Valley CA does either. But it’s mainly going to be a hobby cause it’s rare to see anybody besides my self invest over 10k into a system. That’s all the equipment,tools I bought to use,all the boxes I’ve made thru trail and error, power wires, rca’s on my 4 set of pairs of custom 15’s,many different amps from 3K,6K now a 8k,amps for my mids and highs bout 9. TIME AND HEADACHES. SO the 10’000$ + is all the equipment I’ve HAD in the vehicle up until now. As the grand Marquis sits now there’s about 6000$ in it, 2400$ for the 250 amp Alt, 2 XSpower D7500, dual runs of 0 guage POS and NEG to batts and Amp(S) 1800$ for the custom Solo X 18 motors on 15” frames. 450$ for the 8k, 180$ Each for 2 1800 watt amps for my loudspeakers 6-6-1/2’s 2 neo 6-1/2’s220$ for the pair and 4 ferrites up 110$ front with 4 tweets 60$, 4-8 inch loudspeakers 220$,4 tweets 120$ tweets ran off a 800 watt 4ch 200$, rca’s for those 75$ a DSP 150$ box I made bout 180$. Ditching the 8 tweeters and got 4 tweeters higher quality tweets for 200$ bought another set of 4- 6-1/2’s loudspeakers for 120$. You have to learn about OHM’s to get the most out of your amplifiers and electrical supply of things can get complicated and/or burned up. I’ve hacked the F out of my rear area of my G.Marquise-no more rear seat. Only thing left of the back deck it just the 3rd brake light area. So it’s like a hatchback/wagon now. Long ago my bass broke the trunk lock mechanism and ripped out rivets-JB welded it back to 90% BUT I ran 2 thick threaded rods with bots and washers to bolt my trunk down. Got Bigger gap filler injected into my trunk and also in my rear bumper also use big gap filler to secure my box in my trunk till I get a better way. Gorilla glued my rear view mirror over 8 times now. Still not done,still learning,I know it can be what I want it to be. I spent my time writing this to let people know. You can do it yourself BUT ITS TAKE TONS OF TIME doesn’t have to be as expensive as mine-IF! I knew THEN what I know NOW-I could’ve spent about HALF to be at where Iam now. But that’s life(Audio)LABOR of LOVE. PANTER PLATFORMS are a good start for a system car btw.

      Upgrade your alternator. Fit the biggest physical and powerful battery under you hood. Get a custom 10 made or off the shelf you can afford. Then go sealed or ported based on what you prefer(impress yourself OR others )Bass likes air it may not sound loud in a rag top IN the vehicle but outside it’ll carry for. Look at Jeeps in the 90’s dude’s would rock 2-10 or 2-12’s and be heard far away. I’ve known to many people trying out different subs,boxes,amps ect ect but never bothered to save up and upgrade there electrical
      Then they get discouraged thinks it’s all a waste of money.
      Or sell the Ride and get another V8 vehicle mainly cause they come stock with bigger alternators and so the aftermarket alternators can be 250-400 amps sometimes more and you’ll spend anywhere from 700-1200$.
      A good Audio battery is anywhere from 350-800$ and those two important pieces of equipment can be used in other vehicles to either sell or use again. Power/electrical upgrades FIRST. Then it’s FUN after that. Wires too obviously.

    Hi. Can you tell us your opinion about Cerwin Vega budget subs or any other budget subs? I'm traying to build my system sort of SQ (sedan VW) got a pair aJBL GTO 609c in the front (will add a midrange or wideband), will add a rear doors mid-bass woofers and one or two subs. I am thinking about JBL also entry level subs (because of spl level 90-92 dB and brand awareness) or something else between 70-120USD (CV, DLS, InPhase, MTX, Focal, Dayton Audio). Still debating if normal subs or shallow subs because space is a very important thing to me, so still need full trunk usability and to be able to bend the rear seats for trunk-cabin access.
    Not looking for crazy SPL levels, it's my daily and with such a wide variety of brands it's hard to pick one.
    Also thinking of choosing 2 x 8"/10" instead of one 12/15" because i'm thinking will get a better sound at low music volume? when driving here and there in the city?
    Thanks
