I've heard they kick ass. Anyone have experience with them?

We've sold a bunch of them and they work great. We just got the new 5 channel in and it really sounds awesome.
Here's 2 500/1 on 2 15W3 with a 5 farad cap and EQS.

Nice pic's, what kinda vehicle is that?

System is in a super-fly Navigator w/20".
Hit Man X: I would recommend a 300/4 and a 500/1 for your request. 75x4 and 552x1.

OK, I was looking for something different. Never seen a cap looking like that before.

While JL and some SPL competitors are putting 2000W on each driver and not burning them up, I would not recommend it for long life.
What issues have you had with the cap? We've had none.

EW, what is the box covered with? Vinyl? Just curious.

Yes, we ended up with a very close color and texture match to the vehicle's plastic panels. Sometimes we're not so lucky.

Wood shop kicked ass! I made stuff I use daily as well a beat sticks and paddles!

We design the enclosures and have a local wood shop make them for us. It is faster and less expensive than building them ourselves. The enclosures are delivered raw and then we carpet or vinyl them usually.
