[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8639307, member: 650438"] yeah a lot better. If you can build your own box, then that saves a LOT of $$$ and opens up a lot of options. for subwoofer recommendations, we'd need to know dimensions of what you have in length x width x height. I also recommend a dedicated monoblock at least 1000 watts vs bridging 2 channels of the amp if you actually like moderately loud bass. this amp is cheap with okay power about 1200 watts.
