    Tried to get a pic of the spacer to show clearance of surround to baffle, then a pic of the port with a screen I made to keep mice out of the cabs, I used the rims from the port end I cut, and a pic of one of the cabs sitting next to a 816...

    I'm using a DBX 234 for crossover.... It is just to expensive to heat that shop during the winter, I go out now and then and fire the wood stove up but yea drives me nuts not being able to go out everyday. The finish work should go pretty fast once I get back on them I have most everything ready...

    I don't have that info with any of the paperwork they sent with my woofers only TS values is all I got for specs.... I agree these things put out incredible deep bass, they will be even better once final assembly is done right now I only have 4 bolts holding the woofer in and 6 bolts on the back...

    Well I figured since I had the woofer in the cab for test fitting I put the back on and a few bolts and hooked the amp to it and.... holy sheep shit batman!!! When I cranked it I heard a buzzing rattling sound from the driver, so I backed off and lowed the bass a bit and wow they shake...

    These flared ports come with both ends have a flange, well only the outer one needs one for mounting but inside does not. So I cut the flange off and wala I don't have to go through all the work to relocate the hole, it is close but should be OK..... In the pic that is the actual length it will be

    OK so you don't want to talk about it, that's cool So on the subs I am building..... Huston we have a problem... I had cut the hole for the port thinking I was going to be using a strait round 6" port. Well the flared port is much larger on the outer edge and will not clear the woofer. Soooo...

    Here are some pics to show where I am going with these. I sprayed a bit of black on the baffle, that will be black and revile/trim pieces will be gun metal gray to match the 816's, they will also have carpet and the aluminum angle trim around the edges. I already fabricated the trim corner...

    I ran my stock PL wide open all the time, I also ran my wopl wide open all last summer when it was in the shop, but the stock PL right channel let go and the wopl is in the house now connected to my little bose 301's so it is on easy street now, thought it is just to nice of an amp now to be out...

    I have always had speakers that loved a lot of power... I'm finding this high efficiency thing very cool, like making a 4 cyl honda go 250mph on 90 hp

Really likeing...

    Thanks guys for the comments.... Got the T nuts installed on the baffles for the woofers and one baffle glued and screwed to the frame. The mounting screw holes on these rockville woofers are to small for 1/4-20 bolts so I will need to enlarge them. I was routing the last lewon piece when the...

    I think your talking about on the front baffle, right? Well I had thought about that if you look at the pic of the circle on the baffle you can see that the top and bottom of the 18" woofer are just about touching the solid frames, so there wil be no flexing there. the area between the sided of...
