Talk to randy about it. Your warranty is only good for 1 year, which i believe you are at now anyways tho.

this subwoofer enclosure is .5cu ft.
[Image: 1345753189126.jpg]

so i raised up a bit to make .75cu ft. i might go with smaller subwoofer if i am not satisfy with it. i do not want to lose hatch space.

see a lot of tubular LCAs failing at the welds... is that where yours went as well?

Can't wait to see this car painted and finished... 32 pages, and still an interesting read....
