    it doesnt matter where anything is so long as the volume stays the same. just make sure your subs are facing back and like we discussed either do port back or port side.

    got it. It's going to be subs back and port back.

    Try and keep the ports on the same side as the subwoofer, otherwise i would have designed it different with longer ports. The idea is that if the ports are on the same side as the subs then the air inside the box can equalize with the air outside the box and with the air that the sub is pushing from the front. Lol sorry i have a hard time explaining sometimes on here.

    ok, i sold my computer so i could buy an amp lol. So i might grab this tonight online if no one has anything bad to say about it. I can run it at 4 ohms and it will be perfect i think, also if i get another stroker in the future i can drop the amp to 1 ohm.

    sweet, ya i'm liking this amps specs, maybe i'll get a second one in the future for my second stroker if i get one and run them both at 4 ohms. I gotta move some money around but i will have it by the end of the month for sure, hopefully next week.

    Thanks electro, I was planning to keep the subs and port on the same side. What about internal bracing though, do i need any?

    I don't know lol, i guess it depends how good you can build it. Use wood glue and glue each piece, drywall screws, 1/64 drill bit and put screws every 4 inches or so and i don't think you will need any. I didn't brace mine, it turned out pretty solid. Countersink the screw holes too if you can with a drill bit a bit bigger than the screw heads.

    Thanks lol, i think this setup will be ok finally, at 4 ohms it should run cooler and be easier on everything. I noticed my car is running a little rough lately but a weird thing is happening now, when i'm driving a good speed then have to slow down real fast the engine kind of dies out for a second and my 200 watt amp cuts off for a second. Grrr, there is some heavy power surges going on with my car i think and maybe has been like that for a long time but not as bad. It has to be a big surge or lack of power for a second or two because i'm only running a 200 watt amp and it has it's own battery in the back. Probably not good for an amplifier in this situation.............

    thanks electro. I was going to put a screw every two inches like my last box. Damn box must have taken like 60 to 70 screws.lol My last box i did glue everything and then tacked it together then put screws. the only thing i didn't do was pre drill. I'm going to do it this time though.

    congrats on your new amp. Maybe you should have your alternator checked before you install the amp though. Make sure your electrical is all in order. I know you don't want to fry another amp.lol

    electro, last question. the PVC has to 4" diameter PVC or 4.25"? I'm a little confused.

    (e), specifies 4.25" and (g) specifies 4". wouldn't the height and width of the PVC be the same?

    1/4" for the thickness.
