Re: Here's my plan

looks good. Wire it up for 4 ohms at 1000 watts. 500 watts each should be more then enough power for the subs.

when it comes to stereo equipment ebay will be your best friend and as for the box 3/4" MDF is the only way to go unless you wanna use a few inches of fiber glassthats the same plans i used for my box let me tell you now they are not prefect, you will need to tweak a few minor things

If your looking for nothing huge bass and good for price just go to a audio store or even bestbuy and look there. Kappa, Infinity, MTX, Rockford. They are usally a lot cheaper then the Big boys and like said before Ebay is your friend if you are not in a hurry. You can save 50-100 bucks easy.
