Ordered sub and Amp

So I ordered a sub and an amp for myself. I ordered a Stereo Integrity BM 12" and a Sundown Audio SAE-1000D. I got the sub for $210 shipped and the amp for $250 shipped. Can't wait to see what this baby can do.

nice... make sure you have proper wiring to everything... that should be a pretty nice setup

What kind of enclosure is that BM going into?

Thats the next thing that needs to be decided. I want max SQ, am not looking for SPL, but it looks like the BM likes ported boxes so like I said, I'm not sure. I am looking for some help deciding that and have emailed Nick at SI to see what he recommends.

Pre-release from Low-hz.com from Ben. Awesome service he had, great to deal with and prompt replies, just an all around stand up operation from what I can tell.

Ok, does anyone have any advice on what kind and size of box to use for max SQ with this sub and amp?

How about SI's recommended boxes. I'd go ported. Can have just as good SQ and more output

Yup, that's what I'll do, but I have no clue how to build a box and tune the port and the like, lol.

Use the program WINisd to input everything.. it will tell you port length for a certain tuning. Ng has a good write up on how to do it under the enclosure section, it is a sticky
