im wanting to tap into the wealth of knowledge on this site for a little help with my build. currently I have a little set up that consists of....

03 camry

arc 3 way black component set (that I finally finished the pods)

2 arc ks 300.4

1 crossfire bmfd 1000.1

1 arc ks 1200.1

(also the ps8 will be here Thursday)

the question I have is my sub configuration. I have a idmax 12 d4 that im thinking of using, or a idmax 10" d2. the problem is should I seal it port it or bandpass it? I will have my wood today and im going to try 12 ply birch. much lighter and much stronger than 1"+ mdf. the arc front stage sounds great but not ear piercing, just a nice blend of sound and I want the same for the sub. I am worried that they will not be able to keep up with the sub. the 6 1/2" is not the loudest it is a little less than I thought it would be, but it goes great with the 4 and tweeter. The arc ks 1200.1 is the amp I will be using, I just had the crossfire laying around to try with the id max 10" for the ohm configuration if I needed. I know its a fine line but I want that clean sound but still have some lows and spl if needed..(again I know its a fine line) any of your advice is welcome, I know there are a lot of builders here and I want to look at all avenues before I build my enclosre.
