[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 4531864, member: 549629"] The sub is rated at 750 watts, you say your amp does 800 watts at that impedance... no that's definitely not too much power, assuming you set your gains to assure you do not clip the amp (and output more power than its specs state). Some people even prefer to 'overpower' their subs, and then turn the gains back on their amp. This is called headroom and allows the amp to work less, creating less distortion. You want the box to fit under the seat? Im confident at least one company makes such a box for an 01 Silverado, very popular truck. Have you considered making it yourself to save some serious money? You could have someone here help you with the plans. The other choice is to have one of the capable box builders that frequent this site make one for you custom. [/QUOTE]
