[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8676888, member: 650438"] the birch from home depot is not really birch its just normal china plywood with a layer of birch veneer on it so you paying 20 dollars extra a sheet for some veneer. see if you can find some 11 layered sanded pine. if not 7 layer works fine as well which is the same price as MDF but way better. There's a few scientific tests that shows cheap china ply being stronger and actually more dampened and less resonance than MDF. I honestly see no reason to ever use MDF imo. You can run a 0 gauge power and ground to a distribution block and some short 4 gauge runs to both amps. That JL jx 1000.1 amp would have been perfect for your setup even with your stock electrical but if you can get the XD for dirt cheap less than 130 then go for it, definitely dont buy new pricing. Also when you buy used, smell the amp for any burnt electronic smell, look for damages at the terminals etc.. If possible, hook it up and test drive it out. [/QUOTE]
