DIYMA 12 on sale 100.00

that pre-fab box might fall apart from the weight of the diyma.

i'd look into the Memphis audio, thats what i got!!! or you could always spend the big cash and get a arc audio flatline and go boom boom boom

Price range you are looking at?

Box volume for that prefab box?

If it came from crutch field it is probably those qlogic boxes, they are pretty sturdy. Will definitely need to put some of those meta bolt things that I can't remember the name of right now. They have the teeth that dig into the wood and give you a solid metal thread to put a machine screw in. They sell them at home depot.

We do need box specs though to make a solid recommendation. I would almost always recommend making a box though, those prefab boxes are crap. I am not very good at building boxes at all, and every box I have ever built sounded way better than the prefab. They were always ugly as sin, but they did sound nice.

I'm definatley going to look into that. Thanks

I hate to sound like a broken record but from my experience building your own enclosure always yields the best results.

You are thinking T-Nuts or possibly threaded inserts, either works well.

I would suggest the DIYMA for $100 if you desire a "blendy" sub, and something more like an SSA Icon or Fi Audio SSD if you want something with more "subby-ness", for lack of better words.

I really like those words, "blendy" and "subby-ness" you should trade mark them. I just bought a DIYMA 12 today, hoping for a sub with good "blendy" properties.

hee hee.

Well to go off on a wild tangent explaining how cabin gain affects the frequency response blah blah and then the DIYMA has a FR plot that starts to roll off at blah blah etc. just doesn't have the same "aha!" snap as "blendy", know what I mean?
