Definitely add damping.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Maybe you'll take this at least to the point where you explain why a line driver is called for here?

Ok I second the dynamat, it will help alot. I don't understand how a line driver would help at all. ------------- Nik

simple math. 2v x 300 watts = X amount of power. 8v x 300 watts = y amount. y is bigger.

soundmasta,
wow. I really really hope you or no one you know bought anything expensive based on that horrible advice.
That simply isn't how it works. At all.

Read that.
AT BEST a line driver _could_ help noise. AT BEST. It WILL NOT increase power. Repeat. IT WILL NOT INCREASE POWER.
Where did you get that advice? Or did you just come up with that yourself?

Travis... I think the best way one can help any system, once they have _ok_ bass, is to work on the front stage. What do you have up front?
