I don't know what you're asking. Your amp will provide 400W RMS bridged, but the minimum impedence you can hook up to it bridged is 4 ohms. That means if you went with one sub, you should get one that either has one single 4 ohm voice coil, or 2 2-ohm voice coils and hook the voice coils up in series to get 4 ohms.

So I got all the board marked and ready to cut. I'm making it 14h X 16w X 14d. That's about 1.4 Cu Ft. I't says the recomended box size is 1.0-1.5 Cu Ft.

Yeah I used pure silicone to seal all the cracks. It sounds like the box is to small I don't know what that sounds like. I just know some of my friends have boxes that are square and may have a little bit more air space that hit and rattle everything around them. But mine I can't evan hear it outside my truck. And what is all this about ported boxes is that just for bigger setups.
as for the ported boxes go. ported boxes have to be bigger than a sealed box. u can use a smaller amp with a ported box and get same loudness as a sealed box with a bigger amp. being that the heat is not trapped in the box the subs are not as stressed as much too. u also have to tune ur port to the sub. if u dont it sounds like crap. but i prefer sealed boxes. they seem to produce tighter bass and the boxes can be smaller.

I Voted For Bill and Opus
the best compromise between the efficiency of a ported, or bass reflex system and a acoustic suspension's tight control is called a bipolar speaker system with a passive driver. The bipolar system in my opinion is the best design for a subwoof.
