rasta, first, your suggested sub will barely fit in the stealth enclosure. Second, how much is the recommended enclosure volume for this sub?

As for wiring the amp, I don't know if you have the same amp as mine or not. Can you take a pic of the plug that I showed on the first page? if it is the same amp/plug then you can tap on the same pairs I used to get the speaker level input to the new amp.

OK, I just checked your link and it says that the ideal is 0.5 cubic foot with acceptable range from 0.3 to 0.6 ... then you are OK with our box

This will keep us only with the wiring issue ...

Yes it can ... and you can go to a bigger amp such as MRP-M450 or any other amp with 300W RMS minimum

This is a Google translation that is supposed to say "Arabic is a beautiful script, but I do not understand any of it".

How many keys on an Arabic keyboard? How about, say, a Chinese one? I don't know how it is possible to have enough keys for Asian languages because aren't there a thousand characters? How many in Arabic?

وقد الكتابة العربية الجميلة ، ولكنني لا افهم ايا من هذا

That's partially correct ... we have 28 charchters in Arabic language so it is not that hard to have them on the keyboard

Essam, really quick, just built your speaker box... thanks for the great info.

What type of guage of wire did you use for the high level speaker input and for the remote power, ground and constant power?

Also, I noticed your have the sub speaker wire just coming out of a hole you drilled, did you seal that hole? Does the speaker wire need to come out of the front of the box like that?

Thanks for any additional info.

Thanks

I took the advice of a technician at an audio shop. I dont know the exact guage but the for speaker input I used the wires coming with the sub, remote power it was a thicker wire, ground and power much thicker
I hope this would help

Yes I sealed the hole and the wire can come out from anywhere in the box. You can also install a small faceplate with speaker connectors like what carlgo did
