I think what you want in the box is ployfill
its kinda like the stuffing in a pillow or blanket
oh, and Crutchfields prices are a little high, but they do have a nice website that'll tell you what fits your car

The bass was clean, but not hard hitting and the amp got hot. Installed a monoblock and the difference is night and day and everything runs nice and cool. Also, if you run a sealed box, you will need more power than a ported box.

You can drop more power on ported with less chance of mechanical failure.
I asked because the 600 doesnt have a subsonic filter, (i dont think) which is needed if the individual runs ported.

I was thinking of building a new box to better fit the vehicle i am putting the subs in so i can make a sealed box. I just thought that a ported box with correct dimensions and power would put out more and better sound than sealed. I have a friend that will sell me a 2 channel Rockford Fosqate punch amp, with it i could go 360*2 at 2 ohms. What do you think of that?

ported will be louder
better is a matter of preference
you have 2 - 5 OHM subs, so you're not gonna get the 360 x2 you're expecting. most two channel amps can't safely drive a 2ohm load when bridged, so I don't think the punch amp is what you want
