I was thinking of stepping up from my standard 4″ designer series woofer. Do you think you are getting what you should out of those 6″ drivers? I know once you go battery and unplug you cut out about 20% of the power. Nice build btw. Good looking unit. Love the brass. Those square corners of yours make me nervous haha. I ding the heck out of mine and they are rounded over!
nice !!!i want to make one soon
Nice setup, what amp board did you use?
