FYI you dont need ALOT of screws... Just use tite bond and a few screws. The last few boxes Ive built were put together solely w/ tight bond and brads. Much less work, and if you brace its just as strong/ and it looks cleaner. Once the woodglue is dry its many times stronger than the MDF itself....So to make a long post short, 200 screws is about 180 too many... But props on doing it yourself, looks pretty decent. How Are the fosgates?

Yeah true 180 too many, but I had a whole box I would never use again and nothing better to do with them.
The Fosgates are excellent. Very clear, responsive, and booming bass. I have had alot of subs: Kickers, Memphis, MA, and RF. I like RF the best, they last longer and they hit harder IMO.

That setup looks sweet, but I don't think I could give up my back seats and that much interior space. I'm sure it makes for a fun ride though.

I dont think you can get clear and responsive for under $200 IMO... those fosgates are like 2 for $100, so you really cant expect much.

dbleon and bobditts if you guys want to mock me over what I said please do it in private amongst yourselves because there is no room for that in my thread. Yes, I said Clear, Responsive, and Booming and I would not have said it if it was not. You can mock me all you like about how it is not clear or responsive amongst yourselves through PM, but the fact of the matter is that you have never and probably never will hear this system, and you will never know.
This thread was started because I wanted to share my hard work (with no prior experience might I add) and joy with everyone here. If you don't like it that is fine, say that and move on. There is no need for mocking me here, you have your opinion, I have mine and lets leave it that. Thanks.
To all the rest of you, thank you very much for the compliments, I worked on this project for a long time (4 months) trying to get it right!

My intentions were not to mock you... Bobditts came in and said they are not clear or responsive, i was actually trying to back you up by saying that everyone has there own taste... i also gave you props on the build! So dont get snappy at me. But if you want to start the bashing, i definately have alot to say.

No one is getting snappy at you, and you will not be bashing anyone on this forum. You can keep that mess to yourself or suffer the consequences as so many before you have. Bashing other members is not tolerated on this forum.

You posted this on a PUBLIC forum for OPEN DISCUSSION. It says no where in the TOS that you cannot state your opinion about a product =\
Otherwise....Which rf models are those? Punch 2's? (looks like)

Yes I did. I did not ask for them to mock me though, and it is very disrespectful. All they had to do was say they didn't agree or didn't like it and move on. I didn't start this thread as a product piece. I'm only showing off what I built, that is the topic at hand, not if you like the products I used or not. So keep the thread on topic, it is about the build not the products used and whether you like them or not.
They are Punch 1's.

Very nice setup. What are those, 15's? And how big exactly is that box? Looks pretty big! Is that pic from the back glass or are you in the back a little?
