Also would you recommend a ported enclosure or a sealed box?

You bridge the amp and run it. It doesn't need to be dual coil to run this sub. Mine runs off my bridged 4ch amp. Two to the speakers and the bridge to the sub.

Mine is fully sealed. Don't know what's better but mine works very well.

That's the thing im doing completely different, Hence why im getting a 5 channel amp, Ill be running A/B channels for front / back and subwoofer for the sub

So im running a true 5 channel setup in a ve.


Reason im doing this is so i can equalize it properly instead of going the other way. Really want a true 5 channel setup.

You should still be able to bridge the sub output if you need more drive. 120wrms is plenty to run the 10" in the Boss Audio range. Elite have a range of Boss subs to choose from.

Ah sweet, Yeah amp supplies 350w 4 ohms rms or 600w 2 ohms rms, So would be nice to find a sub already 2 ohm 600w that i could just chuck in a box that way i know im running the limits ;)

You don't need to have a 2ohm sub, but if you have burn, I suppose it can't hurt.
