Cost of steel screws = $5.79 a box. Cost of fancy brass screws = $22.79 a box. I'll risk the space-time continuum There is no way without about 8 months and a lot of steroids that I could even budge the thing fully assembled. If 3 sheets weighs ~288lbs, I would guess I'm a lot closer to 200lbs than I am further away.

It's less for dealing with the internal forces and more for holding the 40+lb exterior panels together. I wanted to be able to spread the stress of the weight of the cabinet itself and the 160+lbs of drivers as evenly as possible. Overkill for sure, but I think it will pass the knock test

Click to expand... Thanks, I definitely appreciate the help you gave me with the last sub and with this one. Without the help of guys here on the forum, this would have been a much more daunting task. I'm excited to get this one up and running, but I can't stop thinking about building a TL sub, like you had mentioned. Every time I fire the Phil's I imagine what a big TL subwoofer would be like since they produce a pretty satisfying amount of bass with that "little" 8in woofer.

It was certainly a great amp I kinda miss it . I was this || close to buying a 770, but I got a good deal on an Aragon 8008x3 so I went with that instead.
