sub enclosure

The box looks awesome. I must have one. Is the discount still on or am I too late?

We hope to start laying up boxes this week actually. I will keep everyone updated on when they will ship.

Thanks, 4080

Can we get some larger pictures? Those are really hard to see any detail.

Thanks

This is what is concerning me. Like another poster mentioned, I'm looking for the best "quality" of sound, not necessarily volume (which will come anyway).

My fear is that the size of the enclosure might mean that the bottom end is going to drop off too early.

Is there any sub that will perform "perfectly" in this enclosure? 4080, was the enclosure designed to fit in the space optimally as the primary goal, or did you target an optimal internal volume for a particular 10" sub?

Put another way, which is the best sub that will fit in this enclosure without causing the sub to perform less than optimally (if any exist).

Sorry for the tough questions, I fear the answer might not be what I want to hear ;D

Let me also add that from what I can see the enclosure has the speaker fairly far indented into the space. Could the speaker mounting ring be brought out, even raised somewhat, to help free up some internal space?

Take a look at how the Polk sub is mounted on the enclosure in this car http://www.polkaudio.com/caraudio/in...olk.php?id=29# to see what I mean.

Thanks
