I read that the those amps dont have a subsonic filter,will that be bad since my subs will be in a ported box, Im not to sure what one is anyway, I read somewhere that it stops rolls off of 20hz and below or something like that.

If you build the box yourself, not much. Only material costs.

well if I were to do that, how do I go about with finding the port lenght and all, that. I took wood working shop in 7th grade, but I sure the hell didn't come out with anything I would want to show off, so I would have to get some help, but how long, and where should the ports be?

If WinIsd confuses you (which it probably will, it confuses me) you could always use the box calculator on http://www.bcae1.com (i think its #110) to get all of your dimensions and then use the port calculator on http://www.darkscience.com.au/caraudiohowto/slotcalc/ to figure out how long your port needs to be.

Oh...and the port can be on any side of the box except directly behind the sub.

Have fun!!!
