well finially found a spot to put a hole throught the firewall, and i made sure to put a gusset in with it, however..... when my friend left to go to work, he left me the sub (alpine type-r 12'') so i could start on the box. However, the sub is indefinatly blown (he bought it on ebay) but it is in very good condition (cosmetically) I was wondering if it is worth it to recone it? where to send it? and how much money it would cost?

well, after looking at the sub, i pulled the outer rubber ring off of it, and noticed that the surround had an unusually excessive amount of glue, and whadda ya' know, it was glued on with i believe to be silicone. Swimmerdude and i took that off, unscrewed, the spider and pulled the assembly out.
so we found a new function for it......
