Try flaring a piece of 10" inner diameter PVC I cut the handles off a wok, put it upsidedown on an electric hot plate, a heat gun on 1 side & me w a torch on the other, 2 patio stones & a 3ft steel I-beam on top for downforce, & I barely got it to flare so I used that for in er flare, cut a 6in long piece of 10in Sono tube, cut tabs 1in wide 3in long all the way around, bent & fanned them out to make the shape of the flare, backed the cardboard sono tube w fiberglass fabric & resin making it solid enough for me to stand on, then used Bondo body filler to smooth out the flare, hide the cardboard, & make it aesthetically pleasing. It was a job but that was the only way i could think of getting a flare on a 10in dia ⅛-¼in thick pvc

Almost every time I've had wood cut at Home Depot, they pull the saw down to the bottom and then pull it back up in one motion. Often the wood shifts as this is happening and I end up with cuts that are 1/8-1/4 off from top to bottom. The last time, the girl that cut it for me acttually knew what she was doing, and slid the wood away from the blade before bringing it back up. I've even offered tips to people who were running the saw to take the extra few seconds to do it right and had them decline. I've also had them refuse to cut wood once they found out it was for a speaker box.

From what I've seen and personal experience the majority of American Bass drivers are under rated or have a oddly high rating that is genuine, this model is know for handling decent amount of power so it may not seem that efficient because of the suspension compliance but if you tossed 1000w+ at it it may wake up and really slap...? My XRs have a 1500w rating I was very skeptical of that they resemble your typical 1k sub but I now have 2 on a True 5k and they seem take it without breaking a sweat.... One thing I hate about AB is they will not divulge the ts parameters on certain models...hmmm? so DATS is my only hope and I haven't bought it because my laptop is dead.
