[QUOTE="RayRay02KJ, post: 3287830, member: 580051"] ok, i have a 12" type-r 4-ohm sub. and an alpine m850 amp. i figured this amp would be perfect since at 4 ohm its 500w rms, and its a 4 ohm sub that handles 500w rms. now, about the box, im more into sound quality, i heard a 1cubic foot box is pretty good. what do you guys think? this setup is kinda what i have in mind...but i wont have the bottom shelf so i can still put my tools back there. and the m850 isnt THAT big, so if i ever wanted a small 4 channel amp for my alpine door speakers they would prob both fit on the top shelf [IMG]http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/10/web/538000-538999/538614_38_full.jpg[/IMG] so for my type-r a 12" outside dimension cube box would be ok right? or 12"x12"x12" inside dimension? that 1cubic foot is including the space the actual sub takes up? oh and HOW THE HELL do people carpet their stuff so **** good? cant see any corners or edges seams or anything? thats the only reason im skeptical about building my own box is the carpet will look like crap if i do it. AND the wires inside the box AND the wires going from the amp to the sub, what gauge should those be? i have a rockford 500w rms kit right now, i think its 8 gauge wire for power and ground. thanks [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
