I'm about an hour East of you. Moved here a decade ago and even from there population exploded. Home prices skyrocketed. Planning to execute my first BFM build in the coming months..likely will be a Tuba60. Any words of wisdown aside from read the plans 10x? Any tools that were very helpful in your...

Yeah....it's a bit of a problem. We have severe water issues here, but no one seems to want to address it. We've pretty much been in a drought for several years. Population when I was growing up in the 60s was about 10-12,000. We're over 122k now and that's just in the city. The county has exploded...

Fair enough, I kind of figured this. I'll extend the speaker wires.

Right now the amp is sitting on top of the cab, interconnects are basic 1 meter stuff.

Question to chew on- the current install is using a Dayton plate amp, in a small box I built for it. It sits on top the cab and is not a highlight if you know what I mean. (and by that I mean it is ugly).

What effect would it have on performance to place the amp inside the opening?

Super plain jane-... she's no showroom special, I dont even want to set myself up for the shame!

Follow up- been about 6 months, and right now I'm listneing to Baloney again off Sailing to Philadelphia, theres a bass line in there thats subtle, but if it's right you just feel it in your veins.

Update. Not light so we did testing in the shop (30x30) powered up using a QSC GX5 amp. Uh.... wow. The output was palpable, really enjoyed it, no internal rattles and it is tight tight tight. Still need to figure out a finish, did odies oil on one side and it is nice. May do that. Next step is the ...
