<div>Shanee,</div><div>I had a look at the construction photo's of your sub and my idea of bolting a new head on will not work. If you want to go with a new front head, you can email me at hankpronk@live.ca I have all kinds of heads and ports and port frames. I can build you a front head with ports installed ready to weld onto you hull. If you live close enough i can do it all for you.</div><div>Hank</div><div><br></div>
