    yeah so minimum 250 watts for quatro and ported I was thinking of just getting 120/200/250 watts instead. Now, should it be downfiring, because that was the only plans I was able to find(At adire for shiva.)

    ok, thanks. Is 100-120watts enough for a 15 quatro. Generally is 100watts enough for a driver (the ones in the price range that I want at least). The only limitation is how loud it can get, right. Also, should I make a ported or sealed enclosure with the 12" Shielded DVC?

    what does rms mean to me. I know its root mean square (I know now at least), but what does that mean. Does that mean that thats the highest yet safest wattage it can run at? Is that the minimum wattage needed to run? The max is 175 so does that mean that a 100watt amp will not utilize all of its...

    so if the rms of a speaker is 120watts while max is 175 watts does that mean I should get at least a 120watt amp or 200watt amp. I know more is better but I want to know the minimum needed for safe operation.

    My DIY Sub project

    OK I'm still considering those 2 drivers. I think I narrowed it all down to 2. I'm probably going with the mcm b/c its a better value. The only problem is the shipping. I don't have a credit card (needed to become a member) so I don't know how much it would cost. Anyone know how much it would...

    about Dayton 12" Drivers

    For the shielded dvc driver, would it have to be real loud to notice? I mean real loud or kind of loud? I know its hard to explain, but I really don't turn my speakers up too loud because our dog, and parents and all.

    Is the Dayton Shielded DVC Sub good? I'm thinking of getting that one, but is there a noticable difference between that one and the more expensive ones. Is that the best for my money.

    MCM Make good amps?

    Wondering because I was planning on buying one of their amps for my budget diy sub. It will most likely be mcm then partsexpress if mcm isn't good.

    Is the Dayton 10" prebuilt sub upgradeable?

    I'm talking about talking about the $130 from parts express. I was wondering If those are upgradeable because I want to build a budget sub and I here only good things about them. I was wondering if they can be upgraded like by changing the driver, and amp easily. Is it hard.
