    Trying to hit 155+ with this set up...

    I don't think you should be chasing high numbers, if you want to you could with that equipment. You could tune MUCH higher and probably make it. But what you have here is a great ground pounder and I think you would like that much more then something that burps 155+ at 70 hz.

    How thick MDF for 18" sub for no box flex

    go 1 inch with 2 inch baffle. all thread that shit with other cross bracing too. 45 all corners and glass, not just resin that bitch up. should be easily strong enough...oh, and dado joint the whole box. like fisher does. really adds lots of structural strength How on EARTH does that work? idk how familiar you are with wood working, but dado jointing interlocks the joints and it is then glued and walled on 3 sides. and when making a box it is compounded and interlocked across all sides and joints. therefore much stronger because there is less of a surface to slide or bend or break. just glue and mechanical adhesion alone is enough for make it twice as strong as a regualarly built box with L type joints. even just rabbt jointing is much much stronger than a regular box... I must apologize, I mis-read and thought you were saying that routing the edges adds structural strength

    Who wants 7kw at 14.4 for $1049?

    Perhaps this amp upconverts the current, similar to how the RF T15K converts from 12v. to 400v.?

    Is this a good sub

    "Is this a good sub?" Well, if reproducing bass frequencies are what subs do then all subs are good, right?

    screws to hold sub down

    It's plain and simple, screws fail, they WILL fail and they WILL strip the wood. Use T-nuts and bolts. i have had 2 diff subs in my box and the box is like 3 weeks old . ill go to the store and find some t nuts. is this something i should grab a few extra or i should be ok with just 8? It won't hurt.

    Putting fiberglass on a flat surface only makes it brittle, the only reason some people glass the inside is for lowering the air resistance, mostly in the port though.

    1.5" is fine, glassing the box doesn't add much structural support FYI, bracing will be your best friend.
