update>

i have been messing around figuring out how to get my damn elite
inmy lexus, guys this a very heavy sub to be lugging back in forth
trying to hold and center a ring for placement.

the speaker is to tall for the opening i have to work with, the speaker is too damn deep to angle the ring enough to fit the sub but yet the magnet
hits the bottom of box. finally got the ring where i want it only to realize that i cant put the sub in from the front because my seats dont fold down and i cant put the box in the car with the sub init cause ill have my balls shoot out of my nose....
my body is sore from messing with this sub all day, i was about to
call it quit and just put the two xmax 12s in it and call it a day.
it would have been so much easier but im not one for easy so i
finally figured it out.

the ring will be glassed into the box and ill have to mount the sub form the back. since my box is two parts it wont be a problem.

now im putting this in 4 cubic ft before displacement of port and sub.

tuning at about 25hz and firing the ports through the rear deck where the stock 6x9s used to be.
the sub will fire into the stock ski pass and will be completly sealed from the backof seat..no rear waves to worry about.

fuck im really sore....

ill have some more pics but since my wife took the camera earlier i cant post what i have...

aloha

the back of my yard is bordered with "hapu" fern trees.

yeah it does, i really didnt intead that but i was gonna just curve the top part and then com straight down but i figured what the hell.


my daughter likes it so i wont bother with changing it ,

the thing is when its in the car and you look through the ski pass you can see all of it so it kinda looks cool cause you can see the tapering of the ring to box but not the edges
