Re: speaker box questions

Very sub has specs. for the min. amount of air space and specs sealed or ported. And the problem with amp on bow is you make small air holes with screws. Not realy end of the world but to each his own.

Re: speaker box questions

Have to read the specs for the sub I have seen 12's need 2.5ft

And it will not hurt the amp.
