refurbished stuff...like subs that don't pass QC then are reconed or subs that have scratches here and there...fully functional just subs that aren't A-stock worthy.

are you sure you got a b-stock one??? cuz you should have paid for a new one but gotten a b-stock

My magnet sticker was a lil scratched up but i didn't really care

 

well the sticker wasn't really a sticker...like paint...but whatever the sub sounds amazing...the eD magnet sticker only adds like 25 deebeez

 

steel???

i wouldn't go that route

rather you should have fiberglassed like a 3-4 inch wide strip of MDF all around the baffle area...then bolt the baffle board to it...would be a pain in the ass but it would be removeable...just an idea though

 

wait!! dont cut the whole thing out.just cut out around the sub with a jig saw.then open up the hole,and do what azn suggested.reenforce your original baffle,but make the sub mount removeable.

 

i am not sure about that...have you thought of building a frame , then bolt the plate with a rubber gasket and slotted holes so that it can still flex and remain sealed. What i picture is if everything welded and the car flexes it might cause major damage to car. with the rubber gasket and slotted holes in the frame everything can still move...around 5-7%, which will be enough to keep from having major damage....just a thought...

 

you just would have to cut the plate about 1/4" smaller on all sides...that gives you 1/2" movement.....could use 11/2 x 11/2" 18 ga angle for the frame and weld that to the car. then use allen head bolts for the plate and smaller ones fo the sub....again just a thought....

 

you crack me up:lol:

play on playa.

 

someones got too much time on his hands.lol

 

wow i cannot believe i just watched all of those..... WTF still cool in a weird way lol

 

Welding 1/4" plate to your car (normally around 14-16 ga) would require alot a current running through the welding machine so it can melt the plate...which is fine...but welding effects both sides of the metal...not just the side you are welding. welding the 14-18 ga angle to your car does not require as much current to weld. I just want to share what i know....good luck

 

at welding school...welding on 1/4 inch mild steel plate...the machine was at like 80-100 amps for stick welding...forget what it was at for mig though

 

it should be about the same

 

if you did...get a spoon and start EATING!!
