Do you know wat ohm load that amp makes 350 rms? That will determine wat kind of voice coil configuration you will need. You should always go with wat the manu. suggest as a good starting point, bcuz after all they did design the sub and should know were it has a good balance of spl and sq.
I sure do. At 2ohms it is 350watts rms.. 4ohms it's rated at 200watts rms

btw, are phoenix gold subs pretty good? I've been eyeballing the 10inch phoenix gold RSd.. which is their top of the line version. thanks for all your help guys i'll soon give report on outcome.

Here is my link about sub boxes in general.

Here is Steve's link about box design using a computer aided design program.

Put the two together and you will have a good outcome.

ya that infinity wont work then.
Phoenix Gold is a good company. Never personally heard the sub, but their amps are good....so I imagine the sub should be ok. Do you have a price range you wanna work with?

whoa, nice write up and i'll be looking into seeing if the insides of the sealed box are on par with your specifications. where would i pick up the materials needed if there were few areas where it needed filling?

Well the infinity is 4 ohm, your amp is 200 rms at 4 ohm...I mean it will work, it would jst be underpowered.

You can use liquid nails to seal the inside of a box. but make sure to let it dry OVERNIGHT. The liquid nails has chemicals in it that can ruin parts of your sub. You can get that at lowes, home depot, etc I'm taking it your getting a pre-fab box?
