sorry man but it looks like im going to have to pull out (sorry i know I'm a right bastard).

reason being Saturday is the one day of the week where heaps of jobs are advertised and its first in best served as ive found out on numerous occasions. all the good jobs are usually taken and filled by sat afternoon so im going to be getting up early that morning and spending the day pestering potential employers to convince me they need to give me a job.

Sorry but my money situation is grave now as im getting behind on loan repayments.

Regards. Luke.

sorry guys i wasn't online and must have missed these posts.

Ella I pm'ed you my number before?

Anyways the box building day ended up going ok.

Michael my assistant manager from supercheap built a nice box for his new toyota chaser.

From memory it was ~2 cubes net tuned to 35Hz for my old type x sub that i sold to him a few months ago. Haven't had a chance to listen too it yet but he has discribed it as "very tight and smooth, with a massive low end" the higher subbass frequencies probably lack slightly but this is an inherent trait of the type x woofer, his type x mids should be comfotably drop down to 80Hz to fill the gap, but he will need to deaden and seal his doors proberly to achieve this. The box looked quite shmick and fitted nicley into his boot.

My mate david was building a wicked one. One day just wasn't enough to build it properly. I have a couple of pic's on my phone of it half done. All the internal walls have been cut and screwed and glued onto the base. All it needs are the sides and the back to be screwed and glued in, bit of sanding, bit of fibreglass, splash of paint and carpet and it will be ready to go. He will be running two DD1010's in it (big thanks to freddy for getting those very promptly for him), can't wait till it's done and powered up, with enough power behind it (probably a true 800 watts) i expect it to get ~145dB in his S-coupe.

I built a ported box for my mums mazda 121. Its ~ 1.6 cubes gross tuned to 37Hz for her type s 12". Imo even running of a sh!t amp it is 200% on the old sealed sealed box. The low end is a marginally better but it is just so much more musical and the kick is excpetionally tight.

Then a few other mates came around in the arvo/evening, had a BBQ got smashed and everyone pissed off ~12. So all in all it was a good day :)
