I don't understand how some people can take the volume their systems put out... i mean, seriously now, what is the loudest you can listen to without doing permanent damage??
oh and, i have a proton amp but... i'm not sure of any of the details of it. i was wondering if i would need another amp in order to power a small sub. i'll try looking on the amp to see the power n' stuff.
also, do u need a box for ur subs? do u actually make one with like pieces of wood and glue it all together and cut it yourself? what exactly is the box for?
thanks

depends if a- you are allready using the amp
b- how much power the amp produces
c- how much power the sub needs
and YES you need a box, you ALWAYS do...
(there are very very very very small amount of select subs that CLAIM to work outside a box... lol) but yeah
subs require air compression to generate the BOOM they make.. and without a box of some sort, no boom, no bass...
sealed boxes = good bass on all frequencies (good for SQ)
ported boxes = extreme bass on only a few select frequencies and poor on the rest (good for SPL)
