    I guess that's what I deserve...

    for cheatin' on the VX and spending time with the 350z.

    The Z did not have a subwoofer in it so I took on the challenge... took half the interior apart, wired and installed the amp, checked all connections.

    Everything was lookin' good, so I began the reinstalling of interior. Got to the part where I was actually attaching the sub (built in spot behind driver's seat) and while drilling the 3rd of 4 screws, my drill bit snapped and I slipped and I put a 2 inch rip RIGHT IN my brand new subwoofer!!

    That's enough to make a grown man cry....

    So, after playin' around in the sweat-box I call a garage, I now have a brand new, broken sub in the Z... so much for good intentions!

    Please let me know if anyone has a 10" sub collecting dust that they would like to get rid of.... otherwise, I guess I'll have to bite the bullet (and my pride) and get another new one.

    The VX exerts a powerful mystical force that demands our complete attention on it at all times. Lucky you didnt get hurt.

    shoot, I don't even have to actually hit a curb to get curb rash...
    One would think that since we don't deal with front out here in Az, the roads would be nice & smooth. Well, just driving around out here, the 19's on my Z look as if Ray Charles has been takin' it out for a spin...

    I'm originally from Mass, and I think they take better preparations in laying down the road-bed when making roads... but you can't make me go back to the freezing, rain, snow, etc!

    The old "subwoofer behind the driver's seat" trick, huh? I put a 10" JL Audio sub behind the seat of my 350Z Roadster, and LOVED the back massage I always got while listening to music.

    I needed a 10" sub woofer (just the speaker) for my home entertainment center. Of course Best buy and others ICE shops like that wanted a arm and a leg. Fortunately, we have a electronic resource shop in town, you know the kind that sell all the bit's that make up the end item we buy. Got a very good sub woofer for 40 bucks or so. Just something to keep in mind if you have one of these shops handy

    Why not just fix (recone) the woofer? I reconed all of my Bose 501's about a decade ago, and they still sound great. Not hard to do, and the kits are fairly cheap. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=speaker+repair+recone+kit
