100-150 range, like you said. but they do sound quite nice. if u can, save up for say 2 months and get the set of perfects, but the ones i linked you to are a good set.

A good ported box built to spec for those subs with a trim panel and stuff will probably run you around $350, at least that’s what I’d quote.

Gotta pay to play. I’m sure you could get it done cheaper, but it may not be done right.

FYI, a random pre-fabbed sealed box is ~100, and they are total junk…

Go to audio obsessions, tell him Jim from East Coast sent you, maybe he’ll give you a deal…

Probably a shitty ground connection or you ran your RCA wires alongside some power wires.

I’ve built MANY, many boxes, i just got sick of it.

And I’ve got a few 5 1/4 coax and 6 1/2 comp sets, let me know what you are looking for and they will be cheap, id rather move them then have them sitting in my spare room forever haha

Actually, I have a set of soundstream picasso’s that are 6.5’’, you could make a trim ring (or im sure vlad could make you a set in about 10 min. But they are 2 1/2’’ deep or so. They are pretty nice, and can be had online for $150, Id sell em for like $75

seems not bad. i wouldnt use those because they have silk tweeters. i personally prefer metallic tweeters, but thats just my presonal preference. i like highs to be bright. some people dont, because htey say theyre harsh.
