twin turbo 401- Holy crap That'll show them chevy boys Javelins here,7 of em, none drivable of course.
I think the macrame baskets would be a small tradeoff to lose the wall unit.
A while back, someone on here posted pics of his room featuring flown m80's and an IB sub in the wall. He had 2 18's opening into the garage.I think there was a link to his web page as the account i read was pretty detailed, it didn't look that hard. Don't know how well an attic would work. Have you considered building some w-series axioms into the ec itself? Would you be able to stash a sub behind the couch or other large object? If you're stuck with a sub in cabenatry I would stay with a sealed type sub. The Martin-logan dynamo is a well liked option you might look at. The other ML subs look like they would disappear into a corner with a potted plant hiding them. Of course that just doubled the speaker budget.
