yeah, ranger, 2 13w7's running off 2 1000/1's would be sick in a truck, as long as you have the cash to get it.
I agree about the high profile reviews. I wish CA&E would have a comparo with the likes of W7's, MTX 9500's, DD 9500's, Diamond audio TDX's, Eclipse Titaniums, and of course the XXX's. At least then, no matter who won, the lesser known(underground) brands would get some spotlight.

i hate salesmen like that, , i'll never buy from one like that, , , and since i hate them, , i'll never act like one, , so i'll continue to sell the product for what its worth , , not what i try to make them think its worth.   If a customer disbelives me that the product im selling is better, , i wont say bla bla i know my stuff, , i'll just nicely let them sit in my truck and listen, if that dosn't impress them, then it wasn't meant to be.

Any who, , theres no way a 13" driver could put out more than a total of 30" of drivers, like common.

I have seen fiberglass crack, , , it was only because it was to thin, it flexed to much, , and even then, , i think i was just the paint, , not the actual glass.

It's good to hear that there is still some respectable salesmen out there. I tend to research everything online on websites and forums before I visit the shops. That way I know if they are full of sh!t and wether or not I can trust them. Plus I get to hear what the products in person.
I do plan on making my boxes as thick as need be to avoid flexing. Would it help after I get them to the right thickness to use some spray SoundKill on the inside of the enclosure?

Put pine cone's in the box, , it'll work better than any sound dampening, , leaves work too, , especialy the ones off the groung with the snails on them.  The wetter the better.will fiberglass enclosures crack? - Page 2 -- posted image.

nah, not leaves. You want to use sand, it works excellent. And if you dont have access to sand you can always put cow menure in there and acheive the same effect.

What was the name of the competitor that used concrete in his enclosure way back in the day? It was in a Cougar and I think his name was Bud Wentz or something like that.
