    It was Jacob Brown. He has it on a euro style plate on his V6 Civic. I didn't get that one, but I'm considering it. lol

    So, end of last year (IIRC) I decided I wanted to rebuild my sail panels. So, I traded my existing pods to Richard Hall for his GB10 mounting hardware....
    and then nothing happened. I've had them attached to the factory sail panels with industrial strength velcro-ish stuff. Well, I finally thought I'd start working on them,
    since I'll want to compete once the weather warms up.

    I went out to the car with my digital caliper and measured the diameter of the tweeter body and the outer ring. Inner: 43.9mm Outer 49.9mm
    While I measuring, a friend of mine (who happens to be my AF dealer) called and when I stepped away to answer the phone, the door closed on the tweeter, between
    the door and the dash and crushed the grill (and the dome). Luckily, after I removed the grill, the dome popped back out and the grill was easily repairable, but
    my luck with damaging AF speakers is holding. Sigh.

    Anyway, I was looking to see if I could find a plastic tubing that could serve as the basis for my new pods. On Amazon, I found acrylic tubing 50mm OD and 44mm ID, 10" long x 2.
    It arrived today, and if it weren't for the allen head screws it would be perfect. So, a little work with a file (or heat) and I think I'll have a good start...Yay.

    Well, I made a change. I pulled my Acoustic Elegance IB12AU-4's and replaced it with a Stereo Integrity SQL12D2.
    The box isn't finished (appearance wise, I have some ideas.) I wanted to try it out before I finished it off.
    The box design is basically the box design that Jason Carter designed, but adjusted to fit in my trunk better.
    2.2cu ft, tuned to 22Hz. Double 3/4" face, Steve Meade TCR-1 terminal cups.









    I'm also thinking of switching up amps, but my plan would work better with a 2ohm midbass. Only ones I can really find are
    Stevens Audio. Anyone have any experience, or other options?

    I paid the car off last month, so I'm considering an update of the system.

    Jay
