[QUOTE="katodevin, post: 4261352, member: 572271"] [B]Sub Box/Amp Mounting - [/B] Since I am not concered with SPL, and require my sub to be able to reproduce a wide range of music accurately, I decided to go with a sealed box. Another huge requirement of mine is for the sub/amp mounting system to be completely modular. I designed it to be able to be removed from the car in under 30 seconds using only 1 allen wrench to loosen 2 grub screws to remove the power/ground wires from the distro bock. All other wires are able to be disconnected via plugs at the sub/amp box. This allows me to easily pull out the entire system in case I need to put something in the trunk and flip the seats down.
