Default Mounting 8s in bags
I'm sure it's been posted before, but I can't find it. What are people using (DIY) for mounting their 8's in the bags to give the bag some support. Like a homemade ring. Thanks for any help.

we make rings out of black PVC board. It's water proof and doesn't soak up water like MDF. What 8's ate you gonna install?
