    Love your videos - one tip from a woodworker learning about building sub boxes -
    When you used CA glue for the braces - one good tip is to use both CA glue and wood glue - you can use wood glue for most of the joint but leave a point on each end of the joint for CA glue.
    The CA glue acts as you wanted (quick solid connection when you didn't have a brad nail that would work), the CA glue then allows the wood glue to make an stronger bond for the remainder of the joint (with the CA glue acting as the brad or clamp as the wood glue dries).

    router video? yes, yes, and yes! i have a router but i currently only have 4 bits. they are so expensive and the different types appear to be infinite. I would like to know more about the tool in general, best applications for use, and mostly the critical/necessary bits i need and will use the most vs the ones i can do without and pick up later

    I have installed the JL Audio sub in my spare wheel(spare does not have extra holes, just the 5 and the center hole), that I have sealed the holes, with a rubber seal and an aluminum 6" "washer", all bolted down to the car. Placed an MDF over the wheel, made the cutout for the sub and the speaker terminals and strap it, with two ratcheting straps. It hits haaaard. Spare has well over 1.3 cu/ft.

    I've had an idea for a while that I think would be the best of both worlds for someone who wants to ground pound, but still wants some cargo space. I'd like to see a "wall" of shallow mount subs, laid flat on the floor of an SUV. Maybe 4 or 6 subs in a "wall" configuration. Either 4th order bandpass, or down firing (more or less the same concept). I don't care to take credit for the idea, I just want to see someone do it. Since you have sponsorship, maybe suggest the idea to a sponsor, and maybe give us a video. Keep up the good work.

    I thought JL says the TW series isnt designed to play in a ported enclosure? Maybe that's just the TW5? But I was looking at the tw3 as well and all videos or forums where it was brought up always ended with JL professional or enthusiasts say don't. Either damage will be possible or they wont play to their potential.
    If not I'd love to see what you could do with a TW5 enclosure. :p I love mine and I'm tempted to get a second one but I'm trying to decide how I want to design the box to hide in my spare tire area.
    I wish I had a work shop like your to build in. You have some of the best builds and the tools that give you and edge are amazing. Cant like your vids enough.

    I like the idea of using the wood grain material as a inlay to create a more dramatic look. Personally I'd rather see a piece of carbon fiber (even a piece of formica covered in some 3M faux carbon fiber vinyl). I just don't care for "natural" materials in obviously high tech modern vehicles. I'd prefer high tech or modern textiles or maybe a sheet of brushed or polished aluminum. Maybe with your logo created in a high gloss polish and the area around it brushed. I don't know, you were asking for opinions and that's Just mine. Keep up the great work and great tubes, looking forward to the next one.

    I'd be up for that router video. Just picked up a Bosche router with table but have yet to use it very much.
    Also any thoughts on a quick disconnect subwoofer? For example, I know several people who are hesitant on getting a sub installed as it takes up a permanent spot in their trunk. It would be awesome if there was a way to make a quick disconnect subwoofer that can be removed in seconds and without tools. This would be for people who have a limited trunk space but don't want to compromise for a sub, for say like a road trip or when they really need to use all of their trunk space
    Another video that might be great would be best ways to secure subs in the trunk, especially for people who don't want to drill a sub into their car or make any other permanent modification.

    Great video! Just wanted to ask, which wiring configuration are you using? I have two exact subs but 12” and just wanted to know how to wire them properly. I have a jl audio hd750/1 mono amp too
