LudlamTheory is an unknown quantity at this point
you know, for the most part, unless youre using some ridiculous subs, the majority of weight comes from the enclosure, not the sub. Either get a box made from fiberglass, or stop worrying about your slow *** civic. 50 pounds won't affect your speed enough for you to ever notice, and if you do think you notice, its psychological.

I have one JL 8w3 in a ported box and i liked it a lot. I still have it now, i'm thinking about makign a fiber glass box for it. What Lud said is very true.. My 8w3 in a .75" MDF box is heavier than my sealed 12" infinity in a fiberglass box. The 8w3 in a fiber glass box should be very light. I think i might be selling the 8w3 by the way [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] I can try make you a box as well, it fits under teh stock trunk floor next to the spare, so you don't lose any trunk space neither [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
