Beginner's guide to box building

which order does everyone glue their sides on, and how long should i wait for the next side?

If it's ported, and the port is on the left side, I star with the back wall, and right side wall... Nail/ screw, and glue them. Let them dry. Then I do the front wall, then the port, then the left outside wall.

Had one fail and melt both wires. Got lucky it didn't destroy the amp/sub

Must have worked it's way loose from the vibes of the sub Only thing I could figure, I know when I closed it up they were on 100%, and they were pointing up, so it's not like the wires were hanging pulling down on the connection. Glad I caught it when I did, I have pictures somewhere.

I use the same technique on every sub, ported or not. Start with the bottom piece, glue on a full length piece (for me, I have all panels screw into the front and rear baffles, so for me, it's the sides). Then, glue on one of your side/baffles that you haven't used yet. You should now have three different pieces glued together representing the XYZ axes if you look at their common corner. Then, I glue on the other side/baffle that is the same as the one you just did, just opposite the enclosure. This leaves you with the side of the box open, with four panels together. This way, I can build the port up and build the rest of the enclosure around it. If that doesn't make sense, just ask me and I'll show you with pics. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I do every box the same as well. You can see the order I do it in most of my build logs...

I follow the same method as PV. I start with one side and then work around from there with the top piece going on last.

Im going to be starting my first box soon and i was just wondering if i need to put anything inside the port to reduce port noise and sound better or something like that. Or something around the whole inside of the box

putting something in the port would be bad?

Or do you mean something like resin? or angled corners?

Well I don't think you will notice immense improvement, in theory it makes sense to me, but I don't know for a fact.

It will just take LOTS of extra time.

Why isn't this one a sticky? There's no real info on basic construction of a box in the stickies right now

who can get in contact with a mod to make this a sticky?
