    Custom fiberglass enclosure

    I have a cobalt, thinking of making a fiberglass enclosure to fit where factory pioneer sub box would go. I would be using 10" dvc jvc arsenal sub. Needs 1.85 cu ft. would fiberglass be strong enough? Thats ported spec. Sealed is about 1.5 I think. Any suggestions welcome.

    Checking gain adjustment

    I know the way to adj an amp is with an oscope. I dont have one. My understanding is to adj. gain/sensitivity to match incoming volts from the HU. When I use 50hz 0db test track, and HU settings are at 0 and subw at highest level. Im only getting .6v at best to the amp, with vol between 75%-80%...

    Checking gain adjustment

    My mono sub amp gain knob has min to max, no numbers. Is there a way to check how many volts I have it set at so I can match my input volts from preamp? I have a dmm. Also, it's adjustable from 0.3v to 6v, and what does 2v/45k with the ohm sign mean?
