Picked up one of these since they are on sale for $159 shipped. They have both the dual 2 or 4 ohm in stock and once inventory is gone, thats it! got a dual 2 in the mail earlier this week. Was gonna go with 2 but didnt realize how much space would prob be needed. but, I could always get another just in case before they sale out . Anyways, anyone with some input on what size ported enclosure to shoot for in say, a Tahoe? Dont really want to overpower the sub so I picked up an amp that rated 600@1ohm but it has three 25 amp fuses. also, what to tune this thing to. The suspension and surround on this sub is alot softer than a CT Sounds Strato 18 I previously had. I am assuming it wont need much power to reach its full potential.

The box doesnt need to be that big and its very customizable. You'll want at least 1000 watts on tap and keep gains conservative. 5 to 7 cubic feet tuned anywhere from 28 to 34hz based on your preferences. Smaller box = more upper bass response, bigger box, peakier response at box tuning, more efficient.

If you like lows, 7 cubic feet tuned to 28hz will hit very low. If you want normal music then 5.5 tuned to 34hz should sound fine
