Your putting 1200 watts to a shiva and then going to port it too !!

hahahaha dont worry the bp 1200.1 puts out a modest 600 watts at a 4 ohm load so technically im safe but im near the limit.... not that a sealed shiva isnt enouygh... right now i have it on a 1.5 sealed and it sounds pretty good and hits pretty hard (or maybe i havent listened to enough good sounding systems).... so has anyone built a ported box for a shiva?
