3/4" MDF, noted.
I've never built a box but I'm sure I can do it. I'm very detail oriented. I'm very comfortable with the concept of check the designs three times, measure twice, cut once.
How do I go about designing for a specific frequency though?
OK. That means I need to convince the wife to let me spend a little more. Looks like the sub will cost just shy of $200 plus a little more for a sheet of 1/2" MDF and some carpet.
I'm thinking I'll sell my pioneer amp to cover some of the cost and keep the SS1A since it has subsonic adjustment...
Ported, or sealed? Which amp do you think is a better match? With either amp, do you think it'd be better to get the dual 4ohm version and drive it at 500w so I don't overpower the sub?
Forgot to mention that both of my amps will do 500w@2ohms. So if there's an application that can hit harder at that power than 800@1ohm (750 on the SS1A), I'm open to that too.
My current setup in my 2013 Ford Fiesta is the stock Ford Sync system with high level inputs (tapped from front speakers since they're full range and the rears may not be) connected to a Pioneer GM-D8601 (it does built in line level conversion) powering a 10" Pioneer Champion Pro TS-W2502D2...
