[QUOTE="M3thod_Man, post: 116202, member: 546292"] Wassssssabi I’m getting a jl 500/1 and a jl 10” w7 within a week, and I don’t have a box yet. I probably want to build it on my own, but I need a little guidance. I want a sealed box at around 1.25 cubic feet after displacement of the sub. Heres my list of questions (basically a rant) = ). 1st. For SOUND QUALITY purposes only, should I make a box in a different shape than rectangular or boxy? Is there an audible difference generally speaking, considering my 1.25 cubes? Plz only answer this if you are a sound quality buff and know what your talking about…. 2nd. As far as the materials go I’m thinking either 1” MDF all the way around or ¾ all the way around and stacked on the baffle… what do you guys suggest? I’ll need wood glue, liquid nails, screws and of course the board, that’s pretty much it right? Any brand names for wood glue or places I can get these items/ recommendations? 3rd. My last (I promise J ) question is do you guys think I should brace it? Any type of bracing you suggest, like the triangles on all joints? When you brace, do you just pile on wood glue and fit it in, or do you also nail/ screw it in? do the braces have to run parallel to the baffle? 4th. As far as constructing it, assuming all the cuts on the board are correct, how do you assemble the sides correctly? Is there a standard orientation or do you just plop the sides on with glue and forget about it? [URL="http://www.dancetech.com/aa_dt_new/pa/construction.CFM"]http://www.dancetech.com/aa_dt_new/pa/construction.CFM[/URL] Does ^ this guy know what he is doing with the 1” wood bits in the corners or is this overkill? [URL="http://www.ofsoundmind.com/osm/speakers/subs6.html"]http://www.ofsoundmind.com/osm/speakers/subs6.html[/URL] is ^ this necessary or is carpeting it just fine to seal it? Thank you VERY MUCH in advance for even reading this much….all these questions give me quite a headache…. I know some of these questions may be dumb, but what can I say its my first enclosure…thx alot Peace out, Merry X-mas, WERD [/QUOTE]
