pics of the sub will be up later today
it's just a standard non-ported box with a 10 inch L5 kicker
BUT we are going to fiberglass another box and port it with-in the next few weeks because from what i understand, you'll get even more bass from a ported box
I still need to wire up the 4 gauge power/ ground to my JL500/1 from the battery and ground (using 8 now) and i need to attach another 4 gauge to my alpine amp..

Actually Steve that sub will be loudest in a small non ported box in your car. Because to make a ported box the right size for that sub the box is going to be pretty big... like you won't be having a trunk afterwards.
Here are the specs:
Recommended Sealed Box Volume: When mounted in a sealed enclosure, the woofer delivers massive amounts of high-impact bass and can be driven with punishing levels of amplifier power.
Compact (minimum enclosure volume): 0.66 cu/ft; the woofer can handle up to 450 watts RMS
SQ (maximum enclosure volume): 1.0 cu/ft; the woofer can handle up to 450 watts RMS
Recommended Vented Box Volume: The vented enclosures incorporate massive slot-loaded ports with ultra-low air velocity and hard-hitting bass. These are not your traditional port tubes; the slot-loaded ports are integrated into the enclosure design.
Compact: 1.25 cu/ft; 2.5" x 11.25" port opening; 19.75" port length; the woofer can handle up to 450 watts RMS
Street Bass: 1.75 cu/ft; 2.75" x 11.25" port opening; 17.75" port length; the woofer can handle up to 450 watts RMS
SPL/Deep Bass: 2.25 cu/ft; 3" x 11.25" port opening; 18" port length; the woofer can handle up to 450 watts RMS
Basically your building a sealed box

No. You need to build a box with an internal box volume of 1.0 cubic foot. Which as it turns out is very possible in the S. Then just build a nice cover to go over it.
Its actually a very easy box to build. You've heard my brothers box Steve and that's actually a little small for it. His is a cubic foot outside not inside like it should be and his pounds with less power then you have.
If you build a box from 3/4 MDF with an internal volume size of 1.0 cubic foot and put 450 watts to that sub its going to be so loud!
Your gonna need to Dynamat your head

I honestly haven't... well I have but not in the way your talking about. Streetwires make 'some' nicer stuff.
The biggest things to look for:
Twisted pair cable
A good shield
Strong gold or silver plated terminal ends
As a side note(this really isn't for your benefit but more for others that read this.., none of this will matter much if you have crappy equipment.
Crap in = crap out
Basically if your equipment sucks, you could have the best interconnects know to man and its not going to fix the crappy signal you'd be dealing with.
I will be ordering some cabling products from KNU just to check them out. I sent them an email yesterday so we'll see what happens.
