    You should get a FS thread together. An easier way to ship woofers is to screw them to a panel (making sure the suspension is safe) that fits properly inside the cardboard.

    Years and years ago I built a car with a 30" woofer. I had to ship that stupid thing back and forth between San Diego and Portland like 4 times. I ended up building a really simple shipping crate, but hopefully you won't need to go that far for a 10" woofer!

    What do you want for your woofers? All of those would sound great in these boxes.
    The polks $35 each
    The Diamonds $50 each
    ED subs, $120 each

    The only issue with them is that they are heavy (obviously). If I am going to ship them, they need to be done right, which can get pricy with a heavy sub.

    If someone is local, I'd sell on pickup all 4 Polk subs for $100. One of the subs has a crack in the cone but still works just fine. The rest of the Polks have various scratches, but nothing to impede performance.

    I also have batshit insane more stuff for sale, including 12" subs, head units, and a bunch of amps.

    Diamond D3 and D1, one of each
    Polk Momo, 3 of them
    ED 110v.2 (dual 2 ohm), two of those

    I read this whole thread and I still don't know how much these boxes are?

    Now I just have to find a sub. Hey Luke, I remember in another thread there was a sub for like $50, but I'm too lazy to find it, so uh...any recommendations for subs that won't break the bank? :p

    Oh hey...boxes shipped out friday night, meaning they are on their way...but I have to call fedex (since I shipped so late) before I can figure out prices on shipping, since I still suck at that part.

    4 at a time makes for a small batch.

    Turns out 4 is just as much hassle as 6 or 8, takes just as long...now I have my "wood shop" (literally, my back patio) set up to do woodwork, I can do more builds.

    24 is too many, 4 is not enough. I think next build will be 8.

    The E34 is coming home soon too, it is gonna get a pretty advanced system...plus I have this E28 to finish FIRST...and build all kinds of stuff for the house, too.

    Maybe I can get some E34 boxes done for the E34 meet, who knows.

    lmao, damn. I'm kinda glad I have no talent. Luke just finished a build and already people are asking for another one.

    Luke,

    I built a slat type box spring for this antique bed I have. But before I built the new box spring, I tried to rehab the old one that was so old George Washington may have slept there.

    Any way... After pulling nails (square ones) and staples I had thhis burning pain in my thumb joints and wrists. I put up with it for weeks and finally went to a doctor. She looked it over and told me to take some Tylenol. The pain went away.

    Go fig..

    Tracking numbers tomorrow, my hands hurt.

    Anyone know how arthritis feels? I wish I knew what the fuck is wrong with me.
