hmm ok... right now I guess it doesnt matter since I am going to end up with a 4 ohm load.

Yeah, I just thought I'd fill you in on the equipment you're getting a lil more... after all where do you think he's getting that Cadence amp :)

Well that about sucks for both of you, did you ask about when they'll be getting more in?

She said she would put it on her "wish list" for the next time they place an order with Cadence...

Ya I know, was replying to Mike.

yea it looks pretty cool. tiny little thing!

I went to home depot didnt even bother asking them if they could cut it. Ended up with (2) 2'x4' pieces of 3/4" MDF. I cut the 3 8"x11.5" pieces and 2 11.5" x 26". I ended up being a little narrow on the 26"ers and one of the 8"ers because this is my first time working a circular saw. I will try and work on it during the weekend... in sunlight lol

as a temporary setup while i build my box, i want to use my old box with one of the new subs. the sub is dual 4 ohm and the amp is 110W RMS x 2 @ 4ohm. If I just run a wire from the positive and negative of the sub to the amps positive and negative, that would output 110W to each voice coil, making it a total of 220W, correct? If i keep the gain down, this wouldnt be a problem right?

You will probably be fine.

But as always, when you got past the RMS you are taking a chance.

For straight cuts with a circular saw buy a 1" x 1" X 1/8" Aluminum Angle Iron and two 2" C clamps. Works like a champ.
