Well guys...here it is!

I finally got off my lazy azz and decided to order my amplifier and finish building my sub-woofer box. The sub itself is a 12" Audiobahn AW1206t, with 1100 RMS/2200 MAX. Once I realized how many watts the sub was going to need, I ordered the Power Acoustik OV2-1800 watt amp. It's 2 channels and will be bridged to run the sub at a 2 ohm load.

The only things left to do it install the terminal on the back of the box, cut my port to length, install fuse on power wire by the battery, and finally hook up the amp. Hopefully it should be good to go!

My batteries are charging on my camera now... So I'll have to get some pictures in a little bit.

Oh, do any of you have any ideas on how I could bolt the box to the bottom of the trunk so it won't slide around?....Instead of denting my car from the inside out

Build "wings" for the box so that it extends across to both sides of the trunk ...it will look cleaner and not go anywhere.

I agree with wings, but for now, how about Velcro strips that will grab on the trunk carpeting???

Most amps can be mono-bridged, however, the impedance (ohm value) should match the 12", 4-8 ohm rating.

The amp's spec may indicate a 2 ohm rating but should also list 4 and 8 values. The 2 ohm listing will make the wattage (RMS) seem high but will quickly lower with the true speaker value.

Should the amp be fixed (when bridged) at a 2 ohm output, it will damage itself or the sub.
