Have fun slickooz.We look forward to seeing how the finished product turns out.
But regardless of how it looks it should provide you with some definite increased sub performance.
And if you can,try to take some pics of the riser as it progresses from just raw material,to something that begins to resemble a riser,to the finished product that will proudly hold your AA Sub.
Have fun,its a Great Project to engage in.

It's up to you. A 9" riser would be nice and as far as the foam you can just double or triple it up. Or if you like the 6" better then go that route and just double up the foam.

slickooz · 09-13-2009, 07:48 PM

should the foam be touching the floor or leave an inch off?
sorry im asking too many question very new to this
