If you were gonna build a fEARFUL

Actually checked those out too. Nice, but nope.

Plenty of room, drives well, lots of goodies. But not competing in the same league performance wise. The same motor (turbo 2.3) in the smaller Mazdaspeed3 can almost keep up, though.

Other cars in the "haul ***, while hauling ***es & gear" category:
-Mercedes E63 AMG Wagon (among the rarest Benz-es on the planet)
-Cadillac CTS-V Wagon
-BMW M5 Wagon
-Audi RS4 Avant Wagon

All match/beat it, but at double or more the cost, and less cargo space. Something that matches it with more cargo? Not sure it even exists. Maybe some crazy custom super hot-rodded Suburban?

But to be honest, it IS kind of a ridiculous requirement. It's way overkill, nobody actually needs that kind of power & speed, myself included. But I like it a lot, and I ain't going back.

Maybe it's a theme of sorts, I like lots of headroom in my amps, too. Especially when plugged into fEARfuls. :D

+1 One does not want to start messing around with the changing up the size of the cab esp when it comes to the inside!! The fEARful are a fEARful for a reason GB put alot of time and work into designing them and to start changing them up is rendering all his hard work and engineering for nothing!! False side might work great but in the end you are adding a hell of a lot of extra wood and weight just for the sake of not having a head with an inch hang over on the sides. Like i said before build the 15/6 tube and if you need more just build another and stack them!! Have not seen a 15/6 tube stack yet think it would look pretty cool!!:)

That’s the whole point... as an engineering student I’m more than happy to recalculate resonant frequencies. I’m looking forward to building some special 12/6/1 wedge style pa speakers based on the fearful fearless design. Why not?

Good for you. Dave Green has always been a fan of those who do their own homework, at least as long as they do it thoroughly and well.

My personal solution to the "T look" was just to build my own amp, although a few inches of overhang doesn't really bother me a lot anyway.
