[QUOTE="req, post: 600208, member: 555713"] Hz = Hertz - the frequency of the sound thats comming out. the best 'note' that will come out is the really low bass notes. nothing high like a bass guitar. mostly bass drums or rap beats. the higher the tuning (Hz - hertz) the higher pitch the sound will be. 30hz is great for a daily driver. stick with (or close to) that number. personally i use a tablesaw\circularsaw to cut my box. just take your time and do it slowly. its not very hard. jigsaws DO NOT cut 90 degree angles very well. cut -> glue one side with a 90 degree clamp(s) if ya got them -> predrill\countersink -> screw. use the thickest wood ya can get (MDF) and persoanlly, 1x1's or 2x2's work fine for bracing and are prolly cheaper than dowels. basically if your box flexes then the internal volume changes, and the box gets bigger and the tuning changes. this is bad. and on top of that. it becomes unstable, and it might break\crack where its weakest. braces stop the flexing and keep it very rigid. thats your goal. many people double up the front face of the box so its 1.5" thick (2x.75" mdf) and its way more sturdy. its really common sense man. just think about the questions you ask before you do. =p [/QUOTE]
