Did you need to remove the padding though? If so it doesn't appear you can put it back once you do (tabs are broken off correct?).

Thanks all for the responses. I too am trying to decide which woofer to purchase. I have already decided to purchase BSW Stage 1 but I am on the fence with the woofer. I prefer the 10" but I just don't understand how a 10 can play properly in such a small compartment. semper fi's comment seems to confirm my view on this.

The other side of the coin is cost. These just seem unusually high. I am lucky, I can afford these, but I need to research more to make sure I am getting good value for the money. My big issue with BSW is that they don't tell you who makes their woofer. I am sure they don't make it themselves as they are just a retailer (but who knows).

Essam's approach seems great if you have time. I have time but I have never created a woofer box before. So I have to think that one over.
