    bingo! i also ahve a set of powerbass 8"s that gonna go in the trunk to take care of the higher end bass/mid a set of 6 1/2 audiobahn components for the rear deck, and a set of audiobahn 5 1/4 components for the front, i hooked up the new amps i got today to toy around with them, just threw them in there...haha its a mess.....you should see it, the amps actually sound GREAT though, im running one amp for each sub bridged with a 2 ohm load. hits WAY harder than that bazooka amp did

    cool, so you're getting about 700watts per sub? are you running at a 2ohm load? take some pics of the progress your making with the FG.

    I just did a 2nd coat of fiber matting and resin. Hopefully i can finish the all the fiberglass this weekend and fuse the MDF to the fiberglass.

    Why not fiberglass those 8's up front...midbass is more directional. Also with them in the trunk it'll most likely cause some cancellations. You can lower the chances with really steep crossover slopes though.

    i was gonna say the same thing.

    that would make a killer 3 way system up front.

    GohillaAudio, did you get any fiberglassing done over the weekend? I got another few coats of resin and fibermat on my wife's box. Now all i got to do is put the MDF cover on it and seal it up with resin. I'll finish it next weekend.

    nah, i unexpectedly aquired some new subs, the 15's are now out of the equasion...i now have 2 12" rhino's (loacally made) theres a vid on my youtube page (link in sig) i ahve to completely re-think what im going to do here, im sure it wouldnt be too hard to port a fiberglass box, but i have never done so....and the rhinos HATE sealed enclosures, so i have to figure something out
