whatcha gettin?
Talkin' to me? An Atlas 15 and a Profile Amp. Hook it up to 310watts RMS BABY! I got the plans for this ported box. It shouldn't be too hard to make. You guys got some tips on box building? All the equipment should be here by this comming Friday.

i aint that smart wise guy...lol..i dunno what its tuned too, i dunno how it works that way.. it is 2.2^3(cu.ft) per chamber, .081^ft deducted for the drivers per chamber, (so about 2.01 per chamber) a 50 sq in port(.47^ft).
it gets real low though...real low. im guessing around 30-35hz or so. and thats uneducated at that. lol.

with 1 12 in a sealed box I'd move it around and try it for yourself. id try close to the back seats, close to the tails, and turned sideways in a back corner of the trunk. and even reverse it and see how it sounds.

when you have the sub more to the corner next to the taillights, theres a whole lof of rattling. i had the best bass, when the sub was in the middle of the trunk about 5inches away from the trunk lid

just move it around and see which bass response you like the best. when i had my old box, i had it about 6 inches away from the back of the seat...and it sounded nice to my ears.

profile amps are good value entry level amps, but they tend to overrate their power...love em for driving full range speakers though..I'd expect its only going to be sending ~285w RMS to the sub, but it should still sound fine

to be quite honest with you i've dealt with a good amount of high power d class amps and i think my old profile cl1200 put out its rated 900w with ease...have you seen how massive that thing is?? dual power supplies...**** weighs 20 lbs!
