Im bidding on a jbl bp600.1, how much would you put on one of these?
I just got outbidded at $96, was wondering how high should I bid before this amp isn't a steal?

id probably stop when it got to around $150 shipped... because that price on you can get a JBL 1200.1

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?

download WINISD... i dont have it or a link to it, but i know you can download it for free... im know some people on here have it... if you dont want to do that, i have a friend who will design you a box for like $5 nd also Justin From Detriot can do it also..
Also: i usually reply first because i have no life... so thats why im usually on here this late... well at most hours of the day...

Talking about car audio, not a bad life I would say, haha and what about our fighting Illini #1, I got AZ winning it all tho, and thinks for the WINISD recommendation, you had in RE 8 right?

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!!!
