[QUOTE="Sierra Nate, post: 8591817, member: 673019"] I'll get a pic after lunch time. Its a prebuilt box from JL Audio. The grill cover is touching the bottom of the seat. The seat has a cavity underneath it protected by a flimsy piece of material. So the sub is firing into the cavity through that flimsy piece of material. So in effect the grill is approximately 3 inches from the seat foam? The grill is about one inch above the speaker cone? Not sure if that makes sense without a picture. Short term I plan to use this wedge box the speaker is mounted in but long term I hope to build some custom box with porting of some sort. I hope to find a way to build a transmission line box but space is limited. I set the gain by ear. I turned the volume all the way up without distortion and then added gain all the way to max and never received any distortion. I backed it down to its current setting because it didn't logically make sense to me to have it set to max. I expected to get some distortion from either the volume or the gain or possibly both. This weekend I plan to do it with a meter. I've never done that before but there are some good instruction in the search feature I saw yesterday.
