    All you have to do is ask - there are 2214H's in storage in a number of places. I know where there's a few...ready to be refoamed.

    Looking very nice, although it looks like the stain has bleached or leached out a bit. Some might like it lighter, otherwise, you could stain or oil it again for the OEM look.

    Good job!

    the box is not perfect...
    im not really going to put too much time in to it..
    just basic stuff, a little sanding, refresh the paint, restain and just replace the woofer if I even find one

    and make the grill...
