Sub/Amp Help

[tommymilan311]

One thing a time, box first. You'll be going from alleged 800w to 650w while improving efficiency. Worth a try, nothing to lose. Keep the amp for now, don't be in a rush to spend money. Build the bigger box first, see how that goes.

I think I'm going to. I think I'm going to get the tools to do so myself, start charging locally //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif, What exactly do I need? Got a link to help me out a bit?

I can have Home Depot/Ace Hardware/Lowes/Menards cut the wood for me.

I probably need some C-clamps. Glue, wood screws,

a jig saw?(what works best for cutting the holes). I feel like there is something better, I just can't think of what it is.

Hey guys, some help with this amp. Only 200, I could make that work ATM. Is this a good clean amps? or will I likely look for something else when its all said and done?

You can get it, never hurts to have an extra amp. Every time I think I have extra amps, either I end up needing to use it, or someone else needs one. If you're gonna do all that, sell your subs/box, start anew and do it the way you really want it.

It will be different with more airspace. I think you will be happy for a while

IDK if I'd do that. I have future plan with my Subs and Speakers. I'd probably move them into the house if I started a new. Just bought them brand new. I'm not ready to part ways. They are 1000w RMS, I think I can get good output from them. I'm researching building a box, turns out I don't need as much as I thought. Just some clamps, wood screws, and a jigsaw. I'm wanting to do my ladies box first as she as no way to player her 3 kenwoods properly. I have started another thread asking for advise there.

I've been googling and googling to get some designs, learn the math. All that fun Jazz. I don't think I'm ready to buy an amp. Those deals seem to come up all the time here, I'll wait for the next one //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Plus I found it competitively priced elsewhere, just a few 10s more. Maybe a better amp will go on sale? I'm not sure how good this amp is.

Budget amp, puts out good power for the money. Keep expectations in check, should be fine.

I kinda thought so. I looked it up and got a whole bunch or power acustik stuff. IDK if that is a good brand either though lol.
