Really sharp looking.. So how does it sound? What was the total cost and time to put it together? Only had a total of 30 mins so far to listen, need to do some more tweaking by ear and with REW, total cost for me was about $250 but I had a very generous donation from a fellow lounger, this build could be done for around $800 to $1000 Canadian funds depending on amp choice, I worked on it here and there throughout a few weeks, letting glue and paint dry is the most time consuming thing. A breakdown to build this sub and amp Box - $165us from Parts Express Driver - $350cad funds from Mach 5 Audio Amp - $329us Berhinger EP4000 from Parts Express Feet and Binding posts - $15us Paint - $40cad Be about $1000 Canadian

Not sure, the lights are working as should on the amp, I never changed any settings on the dip switches from when you had it

Thanks to Ivor( fattykidd) and his generosity I have started my 18" HT sub build, we did some tradesies and I will be using a Mach 5 IXL driver and a Behringer EP4000 amp. I love the Mach 5 18" IXL drivers. I run four in my living room subwoofer. They break $%#!

Your speakers don't need to be huge but it helps.. just because you can play at concert levels doesn't mean you do, unless Its Metallica then it MUST be played at concert levels.haha
