Im in the process of building my own sub box for the car.
care to give any tips/advice?
Plus I have couple specific questions...
1. what type of wire should I use to wire the terminals on the sub to the terminals on the box? I will be running a 10w7 with a an Alpine MRD-M1005 amp (should provide around 700 W RMS)
2. What is best type of terminal to use on the box itself? the premade box I bought a couple years ago for my infinity sub has terminals like this

but the actual connectors are screw type connectors that look like this

Is that the only design out there? Or is there anything better?
3. How does this terminal attach to the box itself? Do I just make a cutout the size of the terminal enclosure on the side of the box and screw the terminal in there? Wouldnt this defeat the purpose of a sealed enclosure? Also the terminal enclosure is made of plastic thus one side of the sub box will be all MDF except for a hole covered by plastic. Would this cause any negative effects?
4. One thing I was thinking of doing is something like this

where the wires run from the subwoofer terminals and stick out of a small hole on the sub box. I can make the hole small enough so that the wire barely fits and then seal it up using silicone. But instead of leaving the wire ends bare like in that pic, I would put appropriate connector to connect those wires with the wires running from the amp.
5. Thinking about using 10 gauge wire to run from the amp to the box. Is that large enough?
