    Yes...I may buy one this summer and power it with my nine one is a ported box

    Because I prolly won't have my 18 incher in there all the time...I like switching around and It is hard to fit a cooler or two in the back along with an 18 inch subwoofer and box haha

    Well I got a 20' tsunami elite RCA cable, 6' tsunami elite RCA cable, a 4'x12' piece of carpet, 4 feet of remote wire, and eight 1/0 gauge copper terminals for $65. All I need still is 3/4" split loom, components, fuses, MDF, screws, and precision ports if I decide to use them.

    So here's what I'm thinking...

    I think I'm going to build a box like Steve Meades that has an opening on the front for different ports that he can take off and replace with new ones... that way I can try out all sorts of crazy stuff lol.

    So azn, what do you think of the removable port idea?

    I was thinking some weather stripping, bolts, and t-nuts like these to hold it down...

    If I were to make a single chamber, what do you think the volume should be, 4.5 cubes? 5 cubes? 5.5 cubes?

    Also, one 400.1 is rated at 433 watts and the other is rated at 476 watts... is that okay?

    yeah thats fine...just gain match with with a test tone and a DMM

    All amps don't put out the same exact power even if they are the same exact model.

    I'd do 5 cubes

    Yeah I was thinking 5 cubes also... when the time comes you're going to ahve to explain to me how the hell to use this DMM I bought because it came with no instructions and it has a massive dial with a ton of different settings lol.

    Use some sandpaper...maybe a sanding block...and a elbow grease

    Do it by hand or if you have an electric sander just use that. I don't have a router either...I'm just gonna use an electric sander, muscle, and time

    So I started drilling 3/4" wide holes in the amp rack for the wires. I drilled one and my cordless drill's battery died... I need to drill 22 more...
