New to the game
Hey guys I'm new to the car audio world but ever since I got my first truck I have been waiting to get a system together. Finally I just recently bough my first amp and sub.
Alpine MRP-M500 Mono Amp
10" Kicker CVT10 Sub
and a stinger amp wiring kit
So I guess first off would be is this a decent set-up for starters.
Should I be building or getting a buddy to build a box or buy one?
I will need a new deck to replace the factory one so open to any suggestions.
Thanks guy and happy to be here

Ported means your box is tuned to play a certain frequency louder. Ported boxes are more efficient than sealed as far as SPL (sound pressure levels). Sealed usually yield better kick drum response, and some people prefer them for SQ applications.
In your case, only running one 10" sub, I'd utilize Jalats experience and build a box to his specs. If you ask real nice he may throw some dimensions your way. Too bad you live in BC, cause he builds them too. lol

OK will do thanks for the help bro, also one other question, can i mount my amp right on top of the enclosure or does it need to be placed somewhere different? So....jalat....would you be able to help a newbie like me with your great box building knowledge.

he gave me a pic ( design on similar cad program ) and gave me the dimentions of the peaces. then just cut and glue and screw together. simple as that. all you have to tell him is the size of your trunk space that you want to give up and the type of music you listen too.

OK, ya he said he'd do it for me, but I just sent him the dimensions for the sub. I want the box to be as small as possible so my sub really pounds. Also did you use MDF and if so were did you buy it from, also what type of glue did you use? Thanks man for all the help.
