how deep is that port? and that might be a little big so dont be gain happy while setting the amp. also i dno if you know this or not but dont use bass boost and set your sub sonic filter to about 25hz

if you turn the "gain" up to high on the amp you will clip the signal causing the amp to send a "square" wave to the sub instead of a nice smooth sine wave. Clipping=dirty power and blown sub

Ah yes. I need to get a meter to see where my amp starts clipping but from what I've read they are way goo expensive :/

To do it right you need an O-scope and yes they can be expensive. The next best way is to use a DMM and watch the AC voltage from your output on your amp to roughly tune your amp for its "rated" power
