Silver Member Username: MakmillionMN United States Post Number: 400 Registered: Apr-06 | I have no idea, I'm still trying to figure out what it is lol. It looks like a cool box design, I'm guessing it has to be something great with a 250-400 $ pricetag. Those plans will help you build your own to your subs specs, too. I might try it sometime with a cheap 12 and see if it makes it hit nice  |
