[QUOTE="leon, post: 1881736, member: 568813"] Okay, I'm going to be building a sealed box soon. It should be about 1.375 ft^3 net for each sub. (two type-r's @ 2-ohms.) So today, I bought a 4'x8' sheet of mdf, contact cement for the carpet, and PowerGrab glue. I also have a whole bunch of drywall screws. Am I missing anything? My dad has a woodshop in the garage, so I have a table saw, router, jigsaw, clamps, etc etc. Also, any tips would be appreciated for this build. ie. rounding the corners, aye or nay? Would it be worth it to buy some chaulk and seal the inside corners? will I need any bracing? Oh, before I forget, how do you seal the hole for the speaker terminal caps? I'm also installing springback handles on the sides to make it a little easier to carry so any suggestions on sealing those would be helpful. if you're curious, this is my box design: [IMG]http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j245/gsb6619/dimn7cp.jpg[/IMG] ignore the measurments, the box will be slightly larger than that.
