One last bump for a good amp, come and get it.

Thanks for the good word. The amp really is a great amp. Still for sale. Price drop to $150 shipped.

Selling a Kicker ZX650.4 amp, used about 1 year, new design, not old. Sold the truck it was in, so selling the amp. Was used to power a set of ID CTX650, and a RE RE10. The amp is in good, like new condition, but I don't have the box, or documentation any more. It was certified at 675-ish watts...

Yeah, I really don;t see only 300 watts being detrimental. I might just set it by ear. I can see how when you start pushing huge numbers you would need to do that.

that is really cool. Now to go build said box, if I can find the time. Maybe sunday. I will also re-find my DMM I just bought and check the ohms I am getting. Never thought to do that. Thanks for your help. But also, looking at that designer, its says I'll need a port 1 inch wide. Will that be...

I was going to get a ported box, or make one, but can't find a plan fro a 1 cubic foot ported at 35hz. That would be the maximum efficiency of the sub. And no, didn't change anything on the HU after doing the test tone. But how do I know that the 300 watts i was seeing was at 4ohm, and not, say...

Anyone have any advice?

Well, I picked up a Kicker zx650.4 cheap over the weekend, and hooked it up to my ID CTX65cs and a RE SR10d2. The IDs sound wonderful. I am getting a little engine noise, but working on finding that and correcting it. The thing that gets me though, is I set the gains for the sub for a 50hz tone...

well, I still got a lot of 16 AWG laying around, but I already rewired the sub today with the 8awg. Oh well. Wasn't too expensive though, so no biggie.

well crap, and I went and bought 8 gauge wire today. Well, at least I'm future proofed, right?

Cool, thank you for the quick replies. Wouldn't want to hook it all up and be disappointed.

I have some left over 16AWG RF wire from running wires for my speakers, and was wondering if this would be OK for running a RE SR 10 at 300W rms? A lot of places online I checked out recommended 8-10 AWG. To me this seems like overkill. Will the 16 be ok, or should I go thicker?

Would I just move teh sub into a corner, and the port in the other, or put the port on the side. I would think corner/corner on the front? I looked on PE, but couldn't find a 2.5" that went 9.36" long. What to do?

If its 3/4" MDF, wouldn;t that be 13.5" on all sides due to double 3/4 = 1.5 inches extra? I would do 1.5, but the manual I read says 1 ft^3 max. and thats for maximum efficiency. Where do I get an Aeroport? online?

In the free box plans, there is a plan for a 1 cubic foot ported box tuned to 35 hertz. When I get my RE SR 10, I would like to build one of these boxes as well as the sealed and see which I like better. Only problem being that the plan in the sticky is not there. Does anyone have it backed up...
