    You just wait... Look at some of my threads. I laid mine over on her pass. side, and thought it was just body damage (about $7,000 like you) and didn't think there was any mechanical issues (drove it for 3 hours fine home). Now after about another $2000 worth of repairs due to oil leaking F****** EVERYWHERE after being on its side for 3 hours, theres still engine issues. It happened 3 months ago, and it's been in and out of the shop 8 times. count it, 8 times, for different issues. Hope yours doesn't turn out as bad as mine did.

    Isnt the point of a sub to move air? you cannot get a good sound without having a proper enclosure that causes the right amount of volume of air for the sub to move, as well as the right pressure...

    It says above hes going to seal it. You can put a free air sub in there. But it wont sound as good.

    Yeah he is sealing it so hes talking about air leaking out I'm doing the same thing with mine but the little one with a shallow mount 10" there is plenty of air space in there for a sealed box.

    I have seen someone make a bracket for a hook similar to the front hook. That being said i think a hitch/bumper is the best option. You really want whatever your towing with to be structured.

    1. Good damn thing that was caught. Could be fatal on the highway...
    2. You sigged me, but it ain't visible! Tease. I think you need to rotate your sigs or just delete all the Canadians' quotes.

    How did they discover this? Was it by taking the weight off the wheel? Did you notice anything unusual at all while you were driving?
