i have some questions guys

my amp is 600 rms x1 my sub is 500 rms 1500 peak and my box is 1.5 cu. ft...i think. its 17.5 x 16.5 x 13

does this sound weird? i built this box without any specific numbers in my head so thats why it turned out like that. its sealed too

one more question..would getting components in the front and keeping stock rear speakers be better than gettin regular better than stock speakers all around?

yeah, you can just leave the rear stock if you wish, and let your HU power it. are your speakers bose though? they run at 1 ohm iirc, and might stress your hu's amp. anyhow...then get a 2 channel amp and power some components up front.

as for your box, it seems fine. what size sub?

Most bose speakers test at 2 ohm though they often are rated at 1.

Definately get comps up front, and leave the rear stock or remove.

No way of knowing if 1.5 cubes is enough for your sub since we don't know the specs.

You don't need a 3 way x-over. Just use the amps xover on the sub and the passive that comes with the comp set.
