i know in car audio amps. both channels are used in the bridge mode.. i looked at the back of the amp and it showed + and - hooked to the positive channels on the amp...
hey here is a update of the boxes as of an hour ago.. screwed 2 inches on center, and glued. should have the face done tomorrow night.. Also there is a couple pics of what the subs look like..
the sub will be front firing along with the port. i'll upload pics tomorrow or the next day..
Procast - I saw another post of yours and wanted to clarify something.
An EP2500/4000 won't overpower or damage your subs (unless you run it at excessive levels). It'll have power in reserve and handle peaks well - but you actually want to overbuy wattage - rather than underbuy.
You're more likely to have clipping and higher levels of distortion - if you buy a small amp, and then power speakers that have a higher wattage than the amp (and run the small amp at high gain).
A higher wattage amp just means you adjust the gain lower to get the desired output.

Mike what do you think about a tube port made of pvc... I prefer the square but would like your opinion and could you help me get the specs for a tube port if you think I should go that route.. I want to finish these monday. Thanks jon
