I only "braced" the external corners for air-flow purposes, not strength. Given how small this box is, and how strong baltic birch is over MDF, I think bracing is wholly unnecessary, especially at the power level this thing is running at. Meh, it's at 9.6:1. Good enough. This thing is rarely...

BTW guys, the amp and subwoofer sound amazing. Clean, powerful bass throughout the entire frequency range. It gets much louder than I ever really need it to.

Thanks guys. It's built to their port/volume specs, but doesn't exactly match their design. Should sound about the same though.

FYI guys, here's the box I just fabbed up for it: http://www.caraudio.com/forums/enclosure-design-construction-help/633472-simple-1-cu-ft-ported-box-sundown-e-10-a.html

I fabbed up a box yesterday for my Sundown E-10 v3. It's built to Sundown's specs out of 3/4" Baltic Birch. I will be finishing it with a black stain. Very compact for a ported enclosure. Specs: - 1cu.ft. (net of port displacement and sub) - 15.50" width (external) - 13.50" height (external)...

Got a call from Sonic today. Sounds like they are trying to make it right. They're going to refund the $9 I paid for a return shipping label and refund the money for the open box amp that is being returned. On another topic, the sub arrived in near-perfect condition. there is one small scuff on...

Will do.

I figured given the price. Thanks.

Haha I had no idea. That sort of makes the "open box" amp purchase situation even more frustrating. So it's a brazilian amp?

So the open box amp I bought at the time was $20 less than the new one. I figured it was just that, an open box... not so much. It was a thrashed used amp. When I was looking to replace it I saw that Sonic had a discount code for the NVX amp (previously not available) for $15, making the new one...

The CAB is completely unnecessary in my application and not worth the extra $65. Plus it's huge and would be tough to stealth-install and still retain storage compartment capacity. This is going into my nice X5 daily..

Yeah I like that it was amp dyno'd and verified to be at or above stated power. Plus it is compact, easy on the wallet and has a subsonic filter.

I will get my money back, mark my words. I purchased a replacement *new* NVX amp from Sonic, it's on its way here already, so they are getting some of my money either way. It ended up being only $5 more because of a $15 discount code Sonic had going for it.

Amp is on its way back. Had to pay for the shipping label which I think is unfair but at this point I just want it gone and my money back. Will never be doing business with Sonic again.

Still nothing from Sonic. Been effectively on (call back) hold since 7am this morning and have sent multiple emails and filed support tickets. I went ahead and re-ordered a *new* NVX amp for only $5 more, as there was a $15 coupon code. If dealing with Sonic fails I will escalate to my CC company.
