[QUOTE="JeeperVol, post: 8676986, member: 677088"] This is really good stuff...thanks for sharing! I'm going with the Dayton 12" dvc and am going to take the risk on the 7 yr old HD750/1 amp for $250 as long as it plays and doesn't smell burnt. Worst case scenario...if it stops working a month later, JL Audio said they will rebuild it with new components for $250, which would put it at $500 and still $300 less than a $800 new one. Attached are pics of the amp currently....it's scratched a bit and needs a nameplate and legs. Per your recommendation, I'm going to build a box 14" wide × 14" tall × 9" top depth & 14" bottom depth. I added an extra inch at the bottom depth and total internal volume looks to be .90. Can you send a cut sheet? I'd like to add some 1"×2" internal bracing and 2"×2" triangular bracing to the edges so the box stays rigid. I'm not sure how to brace the bigger back wall that will be about 14" ×16". Thoughts on bracing? My options for box material seem to be home depot and Lowe's if I want to pay $50 or less for wood. My local lumber yards seem to have the same plywood as the big box stores. The other option is 3/4" mdf...but that gets heavy. Should I just go with 7 layer baltic birch veneer at home depot for $40 or try and find some 7 layer pine? It seems like a waste of $ to online order 13 layer baltic birch for $100 bc I am going to put black carpet over it to match the interior. Can you help with recommendations on buying: -a good wire terminal to cutout on the box -what speaker wire gauge from amp to sub terminal and from terminal to woofer -black auto carpet -adhesive to adhere the carpet to box Thanks...this should be fun!
