Don't have a problem just looking for amp advice. I'm looking for a Mono Amp for a 4 Ohm 500 watt, 12 inch.

 

[Herpderplol]

[Longview]

RMS power handling 175 watts.

What's your amp budget?

It's a Walmart sub, and I'm building the box, not a lot. Cheap but good quality if that makes sense.

As a rule, I like a sub amp to have 150% RMS output of the sub. You said you sub was 175 watt RMS, so look for a mono amp at 250-300 watts RMS, BOSS Audio R1100M RIOT Series 1100W Mosfet Power Monoblock Amplifier- Walmart.com that should be enough to move the sub in a sealed box. WHat king of wood do you plan to use for your box?

That price works for me, thanks! And I was planing a sealed box made from MDF.

Get 3/4" and use both glue and screws. I've always thought it was better to drill a pilot hole in MDF, though most don't bother. 12's normally need about 1 cubic foot of volume in a sealed box. You won't get as much volume from a sealed box but the lower end speakers definitely benefit from the support a sealed box offers. Of course, these are just my opinions.

Thanks for the advice, in the sub Manual it has dimensions for .75,1.00 and 1.50 cubic feet of volume.

i would wait till you get a car before you use it. dont use it in your house. its a lot of work and money. ur better off saving that money for a better sub and amp.
