[QUOTE="fazio93, post: 6744705, member: 620652"] Alright, so based on most of your opinions the best bet would be to at least buy the box and woofer separately. I really don't think I could build my own. I live in an apartment so I don't have a place to build anything really. Is it hard to put together a sub and box correctly? Any other materials you need? I really don't want to get a used sub I would really prefer new, but I could get a used box off E-bay or something right? How do you know what box is needed or is appropriate?
