Building a Subwoofer

Im looking to build pair of subwoofers.
Im thinking of using an upper quality Infinity car sub, building my own box, throwing in a crossover, and im looking for reccommendations for a high power amplifier.

Im looking for a stereo amplifier, 300WPC minimum, or a couple 300w+ monoblocks.

Seeing as how this is a DYI, im also looking to keep the cost down as much as possible. under 1000 for the amplifier, preferable far below 1000

any suggestions on crossovers?

This might be a "little" out of the budget, but if you haven't seen it, it's worth a look.

Hey Slappy, as previously posted, I had owned a Audio control Richter Scale and found it to work well for me. It is budget priced.

good luck, Paul

Before you even think about spending your first penny, buy and read a book called Loudspeaker Design Cookbook by Vance Dickason. While it is not hard to build a subwoofer that shakes, rattles and rolls, it is tough to build one that is accurate, articulate and built as well as it should be. You might find that the driver(s) that you want to use are not suitable for the size and type of box that you want to use. If such is the case, think about how much time, money and frustration reading this one book might save you. Sean
