Cant find specs for my Memphis woofer

[bigdaddydank]

I have an older style 15" Memphis Power Reference woofer, but thats all i know. I cant find anything about it anywhere... it is the same "style" (black "MEMPHIS" on front) as this thread http9://www.caraudio.com/forums/subwoofers/415467-can-someone-id-my-memphis-subwoofers.html (DELETE 9 AFTER HTTP)but his is studio and 12".

Can anyone help me out? I have a sony 600w xplod xm-554zr amp i want to run just this woofer, but i have no info on it..... Its also in a pretty small sealed box, would this be best for this woofer, or should it be in a ported box?? If so what specs should that run at for best tuning???

This is going to be my first try at any of this, and dont know much about car audio.. Just basics... wiring, measuring blah blah lol. But if i can get any info on this woofer it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Anyone?

It should be fine on that amp, but definitely switch it to a ported box.

Sub should be 400 rms, but it will more than likely sound best sealed as it is an SQ sub and not a lot of excursion, so odds are without FULL specs to build a PROPER ported enclosure for it, you will bottom out and / or overpower it very easily... I'd run it sealed

How big should the box be? The space from the back of the woofer and the back of the box is only about an inch, if not less...... Its just able to fit in there.

I don't think that enclosure is big enough for that sub, but as I can't find actual specs for it it is hard to say what the PROPER airspace should be... So taking an educated guess I would say around 1.7 - 2.0 cu ft.
