[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8791458, member: 614752"] That first box doesn't look all that bad assuming you own a couple 10" woofers that are meant to function in a ported alignment. Typically space makes bass so cramming too much cone area in too small box is usually going to lead to disappointment. That JL W5 in the prefab JL box would be rough on the budget but probably sound good.... for the amount of space it takes up. If you can spare more airspace you'd do better with a larger box. If Patrick made you some nice 12s could you just hire a cabinetmaker to build a box for just one of them more like 2 to 2.5 cubic feet net? He uses decent parts and seems to know his way around sub building. As far as 5 channel/6 channel amp I think most of them will deliver 300-600W into the sub channel and the difference between 20% more or less power will be inaudible so don't get too hung up. Sundown and Digital Designs should sell 5 channel amps with a beefier sub section and US Acoustics or SSA may also have one. As far as what's "enough" that's purely subjective. Even 300W into an efficient woofer should be plenty to keep up with the fronts if you want to start rattling panels and only have a couple cubic feet to work with you'll probably want more like 1200W and brute force it.
