Custom speaker box build (no subs)

You're technically okay with that amp and the four 6x9's although you need to be sure not to turn the amp up all the way - it is more power than those speakers can handle if you're not careful. If you have a choice, I would go with a different amp. One with less wattage and more "clean" power.

ok thats cool, he was just gonna give me a great deal on that amp. i'll look around for a cheap rockford or mtx. maybe around 400 watts?

by the way, here's the dimensions of my box:
wood thickness: 3/4
depth: 8''
hight: 12"
length: 45 1/2

plus there's a "notch" in the back for that bracket. (it's centered, 6 inches tall, 14 inches wide, and 1 1/16 deep.) the box doesn't look like the horrible diagram i made, it's just a rectangle.

i used 1 1/4 brads, wood glue, and sealed it with liquid nails. tho, i dont think i'll be able to seal the top (where the speakers will be mounted) once i attach it. so, i was thinking instead of wood glue, i'de run a bead of liquid nails to hopefully seal it up.

oh, and about the terminal cups... the guy at the store said i'll need two, is this true?
