With mine above, I have to back off the bass because it vibrates the cab too much.

You should try putting some rubber matting anywhere it makes contact to the cab. Something like carpet undermatting. Make sure the sub is snug so it doesn't vibrate out of place and you should be fine. Mine used to vibrate my cab until I put in some matting and now.. not a twitch. I use the Z3's and I find it was $100 well spent.

Super crisp and nice, clear bass! It sounds pretty close to my 4121's I use for my desktop for 3/4 of the price... and I love how the speakers are 'old school' in look, which will help to flush mount them.
Thanks again.

You have pics of the final install?

Nick, hopefully after this weekend I will, woo hoo!! haha I'm getting close, I can feel it. I built and rebuilt and rebuilt the monitor 'skeleton' this week and finally got everything to not bend. I forgot, after using MDF for this, using real wood again and how much of a pain it can be! So that's finally done, but now I have questions about my bezel; I'm trying to think of different ways to be mount it securely. I can get it in for sure but I want it to look legit at the same time (I'm gonna start a threat asking about this, as well as cutting). But other than that, once I figure out the height and angle for the speaker panel (based on the top of the bezel), I'll route myself some speaker holes and hook these bad bays up. I'm telling you guys, these speakers are fargin' great!! I already returned a couple pairs before finding these, by the recommendation above (thanks again). You can't beat the sound for the money. Also, I found them online and in-store at Office Max, as well as Fry's (in SoCal) vs. ordering online for slightly cheaper. I wanted the ability to take them back, if they didn't work out... plus, I didn't wanna wait for shipping! So I just got them for $49.
But yeah, I'll hopefully get some pictures in here soon!
