Gold Member Username: Tremor1127Fi Post Number: 2117 Registered: Aug-06 | whoah, sawzall circles... but hey, wolfman said something about not getting home depot to do your cuts. ok, let me say this. they would have to try VERY hard, much harder than they normally do to make some nice precision cuts but check this out. no bs. a friend of mine went to have his single 12" box cut up at home depot and oh my god. some of the cuts were inches off. we never really figured out what some of the cuts were supposed to be and i ended up fixing alot of his cuts and had to make some whole new pieces from scratch. it was wild, the dude seriously cut some of them several inches off. some too much and some not enough. it was crazy. not saying your dude at home depot is gonna cut 6 inches off but man, its happened...  circular saw, angle iron and c-clamps FTW! |
|
Silver Member Username: ExplictxGlen Burnie, Maryland USA Post Number: 287 Registered: Mar-07 | Yeah depending on what happens i might not need home depot to cut my wood. and yeah home depot and them dont really care as long as they get paid. Home Depot FTL! |
|
Silver Member Username: BigharvPost Number: 243 Registered: Jun-07 | i have the cut sheet for that box i posted above, it played my 2 EHQS subs loud. |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 6090 Registered: Jun-04 | if your suv is like ours subs back port back |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 6091 Registered: Jun-04 | we loose like 1.5 db firing subs up port up but the low end does go up like .5 db we tried the subs up port back and the results were even worse firing subs front port front (to the driver and passenger) we lost 3 db |
