I decided I'm getting an Atlas 15 subwoofer and a Profile AP1000M amplifier. I will build my own box because I got a box diagram from sunten1, unless you guys have a better idea for a box. It is a ported box, you think that will go good with the Atlas 15? I can't wait to get this stuff.

box dependant..can you explain that a little more...the bigger the box the bigger the chance the sub will blow or opposite?

well don't take it that far. for some sick low end with a loss in spl a big sealed box is very nice. 
i had 2 10" subs in a very large sealed box and i swear they got a little lower than my 15 does. but my 15 is ALOT louder than the 2 10's.

I just baught a diamond audio M6 (earlyer known as mack daddy), a 1200 watt performance teqnique amp, 4 gage amp kit, seald mdf box, and install. and all for how much? 420!!! My stereo guys are great for giving awsome deals. and this single 12 beats harder, deaper, and fuller than my buddy's two 12' Kicker CVR's. And SQ is equal if not better than my buddys W6. It is the perfect sub to buy IMO.

looks pretty solid..you didn't jigsaw the hole yet? how much did the MDF run ya?
don't overkill on the screws. the glue will be the component holding the box together. the screws are there to hold the pieces in place for the glue to dry.
Aaron - going to work on this box right now...

Do you think I could get away with mounting the amp on the box?
