Thanx for the compliment! I couldn't install the woofer with its Pioneer emblem at the preferred horizontal position - the terminals rubbed against the small wood block insert of the box - so I chose to install it with the emblem at the vertical position, the red tape was 'covering up' my little mis-calculation.

But overall, kudos again to Essam because I now have the type of sound system I have always wanted: One with a real nice sound and its amp and subwoofer completely hidden!

I hate to brag about my grill.

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...che+SSG12.html

I mounted two of them, one spinning clockwise and the other ccw. I painted them "interior beige" and mounted strobe lights that flash at different intensities, depending on the bass output. The strobes "freeze" the spinning grills, presenting a solid appearance that will, I am sure, discourage thieves.

The spinning action also throws the sound out into the interior, thus intensifying the bass.

I would post photos, but the intensity of the many strobes just wipes out my digital cameral.

....Okay, who are you and what did you do with the real Carlgo? .....Spinning wheels?? Strobes???

You almost had me going there for a minute! .....but then I remembered you posting something about too much bass, etc., etc. ......pop in a Tu Pac track and really watch those 'Spinning Wheels' spin!

Great post essem..

Im planning to make a similar box soon..

Just wondering. You are saying that the sw1041d is an older model then the sw251.. But the 1041d has better specs then the SW-251, and has an even shallower mounting depth..

Anyone tried the 1041d.? Would you recommend the 251 above this.?

Thanks.

The only reason that made me got the 251 is because it was much cheaper at that time

Okey.. Thanks for feedback..

I got the 1041d for almost the same price as 251, so i went for that one..

This is going to be fun..

BTW, i saw that there was different dimensions throughout the post..

Would you mind posting the sizes you see best fit essam..? Also with the thickness of the plates.?


Thanks.

Same dimensions on the first page but reduce the upper box thickness to be 11.5 instead of 13.5.. you can use any plate thickness u want from 1.8cm to 0.8cm.. don't forget, the dimensions are "outter"
