So I got the amp out to give it a test run today before my return period runs out. I think I need one of the clean boxes for it. I tested it on a smaller, easier to tote around driver and while it was passing sound, it was not anything to speak of. I ran it full blast up to my ear and could barely hear it, much like trying to run a turntable with no pre-amp. Anyway, is there more than one model of clean box or what should I be looking for?
Well, my receiver is an Onkyo 7.1, I don't remember the model number off hand, but, it's up for update. I've had several plate amps hooked to it and they have all done well signal wise.
The pro amp I got is a Peavey.. again, don't remember the model off the top of my head.

Right, I understand. Like I said above output was nil. You have a good point about the driver not being in a box or even a baffle to cancel front / back waves, however, I tested the driver about a year ago with the amp from a computer speaker and it was moving pretty well, I expected at least the same which is why I suspected the signal might need boosting. I had the gain at full crank and turned the LFE channel up all the way while testing.
The amp is just a temp solution, I'll probaly go with an EP2500 in a month or two.

Mike, that's correct.
Otto, there was a signal and there was sound coming out, however, well, the best way I can explain it is it was like connecting a turn table to a receiver with no phono pre amp. You can hear it but you really need that pre-amp to boost it. I tried it with movies and music.
I read at AVS of some guys having issue connecting Onkyo receivers to pro pieces as there is a voltage issue or something along those lines which is why I assume it would require one of the clean-boxes or something of the sort.

Ah gotchya. I misunderstood and thought it was only the lower frequencies where you were having troubles.
Finally making some progress

And all put together. I painted the inside black, drivers will be innies. I need to cut the holes and will once the glue dries, I also have some braces to put in, I may do there in a few minutes.

Gave it the old "Stand on it test". I'm a big guy.. 6'3 and pretty heavy, it did not even creek when I stood on it

I wanted all 4 drivers to be innies, but, I may have to do 2 in or all 4 out. I'm worried about the rafters, but, I should be able to make it work
