[QUOTE="PatFitz9, post: 1491113, member: 563492"] I am thinking of building a sealed box for my new 18xxx. I am just assuming that the driver displacement is .2 cubic feet. RE recommends 4.2 cubes for a sealed box. so i am shooting for 4.4 total cubes right? to get ~4.4 cubes I found 22x23x15 (HxWxD) inches. that needs to be the inside numbers right? using 3/4 MDF that would be 23.5" tall 24.5" wide and 16.5" deep outside dimentions. am i going to need to brace the box? if so, how should I do that? and are those numbers correct? also, I am planning on using wood glue for the panels. do i need to use another sealant, caulk perhaps? and should i coat the inside of the box with anything? if so, what should i use? thanks for the help.
