Generally spoken 1,000wrms seems to be the average point in which you look to upgrade stock electrical.

Your enclosure is arguably the most important aspect of your stereo system. (Sub stage)

Acoustical energy is free, learn to use it.

ha good luck with those guidelines

The thread is asking for general rules. What exactly do you see wrong with my "general" list. Go to ANY box building thread and you will see word for word the given port specifications. That's where I picked those up. Also look and recommended specifications of any given "decent" subwoofer, tell me those numbers don't match up to the "generally" given recommended box specifications. This list to my understanding is basically a quick reference for those that may not have a clue as to what they are doing, or for a quick reference as to where to start. And acoustical energy is free. Build an efficient enclosure and you won't need so much power to get "loud."

never buy from a stereo shop.

this is definitely not true. If my local shop carried what I wanted I would buy from them. Thinking like this will kill car audio. Keep that in mind the next time you have a question and a guy like Ray gives you the answer with a step by step how to. Your issue was solved by the guy who works 16 hours a day at a shop just to make ends meet and to help keep the hobby alive.

This for damn sure. Half the local audio shops dont know what theyre talking about, but how the fuck can you beat an in house warranty from the good shops for example. No hassle with shipping or dealing with the company, its busted, they give you a new one. Amazing. What about basic knowledge or issues you run into? You have a good local shop, most will atleast help walk you through it to find the issue, which is like having a free forum but instant answers and they have a phone number.

This is so true, and it goes for so much more than audio, kinda like feeling good about paying more for something American made.
