Im in the market for a new sub and was considering going with an svs pb-10nsd, then i stumbled upon this post.
My brother has 2 kappa perfect 12.1's in his car atm (fairly old so no vq's, but from reading here should be fine) that he doesnt use/want so i've been seriously considering giving this build a shot.
I would only use one of them and my main question is with the amp to use. i would rather use a plate amp such as the o audio bash 500 ive seen mentioned on here and am curious about mounting. in another thread i saw that they said this amp would work fine for a single, and i know in this thread it says not to mount it on the port, so that means mounting on the back is out, but what about on the side? looking at the amp specs it is only 2.5" deep and from looking at the box specs it looks to be over 4" from side to the side of the port, which seems like it should be ok, but would it cause any problems? from the looks of it this box is built to very exact specs so any foreign blocks i assume will change things. i know you can put it in its own box but that just seems weird to me having an external box for just the amp. any help is much appreciated.
edit just to add a little more info this will be going in a 5.1 system from an onkyo sr502 receiver which is why i would prefer a plate amp to keep things simple, and it will be used about 50/50 music movies. will be upgrading from a klipsch ksw-10 which is probably the worst purchase ive ever made.
