adaptors suck.

and I can never remember how they work for these older bose units...

a couple of thoughts:

1) 2 12"s? you are nuts, right? Do you know how loud that will be? damn.

2) ditch everything, do it right.

this needs to be moved...

I wish!!!!
Had to settle with Infinity Perfects since I got 3 of them for less than the price of 1 W7.
PS. It wouldn't sound good for long because in no time you would be deaf

just made it by a few inches. if you all are looking for a cheap set up go to best buy. i got 2 dual 12" in an illumated glass band pass box and a 440 watt dual amp for $120. you can have pure garbage in a band pass and still sound good. i havnt installed yet but they look bad azz
