    Great job! I bet that upgrade did make a big difference! Btw, the Rock Wool should actually work better than the quilt batting material. For filler, Bondo works great with MDF, I use it all the time. It smells a bit too but not so bad and it is really easy to sand. For your next upgrade you should consider building the LCR speakers, going DIY can get you a lot better sound quality than any of the popular brands.

    ​@@griffensanderhave you upgraded the amp yet? That ultimax needs at lest another 400 watts for clean power and a demo is always a must because anyone can knock a box together but not everyone runs an ultimate o. 100watts so would be epic to hear and I know the mic will vlip butbus theatre and bass heads love it it sound mint through headphones or theatre because you still get the sub bass come through and the mic clipping is just part of the process. Great build btw.its all fun ateotd

    It’s not good to under power subwoofers from what I read this subwoofer is 600wrms and you paired it with a 100w subwoofer plate amp the reason it’s not good is because the amp will end up working harder which could end up causing the subwoofer to have clipped signal and essentially burning it up.

    Well done bro loved the build but that sub NEEDS at least a 500w amp 1000w preferably cuz it can take over 10,000w dynamic burst bro, pEked the bassgead put it in his car and on the dyno and ran it off 12000 watt amp for weeks on end and no problem.... just rattled his car to pieces, plus it will sound loads better with no or less distortion the higher up the wattage uou go amp wise... you will damage your amp too at a 1oo watts if you play to distortion all the while and if you ever say it's not loud and sounds like garbage it's not the speaker it's the week amp, it would sound night and day difference buddy like it would probably scare you for sure... enjoy the ride buddy cuz it's one of the best out there just make sure your kitchen cabinets are insured first b4 you get the 1000w plate amp. Start a go fund me cuz we will all donate man , bee real cool just to see the smile on ya face or eve. Just the joy and surprise in your voice... bass heavy all the way🔊🔊🔊😁🔊🔊🔊
