  1. well at 24" deep x 36" Wide x 48" height assuming your measurements are right ?? then thats just over 20 cubic feet before port, sub and bracing displacement....you need more info like which measurement is width and which one is depth ...do you want the sub up or the sub back and how large you want the box to be

  2. my bad didnt relize you had one build the box you will improve drastically brace to i made that mistake and did brace and first and it was flexing pretty good even though i use 3/4 mdf. a lot port i found helps with this sub through trial and error i believe i have almost 60 square inches of port

  3. well i have one that im selling to get an 18 Q ... comparing it to a friend of mines L7 15 i am noticeably louder with both woofers in there optimum enclosure(well mine is in a little bigger box 3.8cubes) both of the boxes were built by me and tuned to 33hz when i comes to the lows i have him beat but the higher notes arent really pronounced on mine as they are on his but thats what happens when you tune boxes low for certain subs.. but overall if its a budget system then it will get plenty loud and sound just as good as some of the big commercial brands rated the same i.e. kicker mtx... putting it a big box and with alot of port is a must and give some good power and you will be fine( oh and both of the subs are being pushed off of the same amp T1000.1) with the mofo in a pathfinder and the L7 in a Xterra and the xterra has a better electrical then me i drop to 11v when i get on it he doesnt drop below high 12's and im still louder.. main point is dont get caught up on the names all that matters is if you think its loud buy it and sell if its not you wont know if you dont try it alot of things are all based on application

  4. True 10 gauge is fine

    yea 10 is perfectly fine when you use true 8 awg as i did even if the terminals are 8awg once you figure you have to wire it in parallel(1 ohm for your situation) squeezing two positive and two negative wires in one speaker terminal becomes tight i would stick with 10awg just for ease of install and it isnt going to hurt anything

  5. i mean you cant ever go wrong with names like alpine, rockford, kicker etc all the top names are top names for a reason b/c of the quality.. I have never dealt with the mrp m500 but i have dealt with the alpine mrp 1000 and it does all of what i says and some it push a 15" L7 really well.. so if budget permits go with the alpine. if not look at hifonics quality products a little overrated but easier on the pockets and wont crap out on you like some other amps. if u go with one of them look for one rate at 700 rms @ 2ohms
