A drill guide is always handy. Some have holes to center the drill and some are like a mini drill press.

Quote: Originally Posted by mjg100 Since I want to use this for four subs I was interested in the DCX2496 until I learned that it could only go down to 20hz with the HPF. It's easy to shift it lower than 20 Hz. In the pic, I did it...

What Ricci said about the TS parms. Quote: I will be building a sealed box with stuffing, so maybe it's not the biggest deal, but I'd like to get as accurate of a model as possible. Anyone experience this? I searched all over and...

I think it's 400W total for the power supply. So at any given instant it could be putting out a max of: T0 W400 T100 W300 T200 W200 T400 W0 etc.
