    i know for sure each chamber will be AT LEAST 1.35431 cubes, but that is without the center section added in because i dont know how long that can be. so if i have enough airspace i might go ported or is there enough room back there for air to move anyway?

    what you should do is make panels...then use the push/pull button to make them .75 inches thick....more realistic

    kinda like this

    ok i just got my new parts express catalog and i was lookin through it tryin to memorize it a bit and i found these
    Parts Express:Aura Pro Bass Shaker
    would it be smart to get one and put it under the center of my truck?

    those are neat. curcuit city had a home theater display with one of those in a chair and it was....impressive.

    some small subs and those would work,but they need to be crossed over so they only get subbass or you'll be feeling them all the time.

    YES! i finally got my amp in today but it was too cold to work all i did was run my positive through the firewall and into the back and by then i couldnt feel my fingers! But tomorrow is supposed to be warmer and i will try to put it all in. Then, i will see if my dad can stop and pick me up some MDF to build the encolsure and i will take some pics and post em if yall want me to. And my friend donated me an old RF 10" he said he wanted me to blow it for him. Can i do this without hurtin the amp or will it clip it? and how do i know if the amp is clipping anyway cause I dont think i have really experienced it.

    i usually use a surge protector...it has a switch so its safer...take some speaker wire and wire the sub to the surge protector by just sticking it in there basically lol...then flip the switch and have fun.
