[QUOTE="gimpster80, post: 1580918, member: 566816"] go to cardiscountstereos.com and you can get a great box for a set of L7's for probably less than you can build one and looks cleaner too. if you are dead set on it you will need... PARTICLE BOARD 3/4 or 5/8, if using 5/8 make sure that you use two pieces for the face sandwiched to add a little extra strength. ADHESIVE BATHROOM CAULK cheap durable and lasts for years 1.25 inch drywall screws for 5/8 wood, 1.5inch screws for 3/4 WOODEN disposable Yardstick. carpet of choice and spray 3m glue SMall can of cheap acrylic white or black paint (suggest white) Find the size need for L'7's and also decide you wish to use a port, If you are using an off brand amp or believe you don't have enough power put a 3 inch slot 12 inchs long in this box, make the slot is as tall as the sub or just few inchs taller. Airspace for a 12 would probably be ok at 1.75 to 2.0 cuft ported, 1.5-1.75 sealed. for a 15 you'll need 1.75 to 2.5 cuft sealed and 2.0-3.0cuft ported, on the average you'll get nice deep bass with all of these sizes, better at the far end, I suggest that if your using a small amout of power go with a smaller range box and port it. Build cut all of you pieces and secure together with screws then line all seams with caulk and paint the entire inside of the box with paint, this will smooth the sound and turbulence plus ensures that you hit all the gaps with caulk. drill a small hole at one inch on the yard stick the measure out from there half the distance of you mounting width of you speaker. drill another small hole, now use a screw threw the hole at one inch to mount the yard stick and the center of where you want the sub, then you can draw a perfect circle by putting a pencil in the other hole and running it around and around. bingo. cut and you've got a box........................... you could have went to cardiscountstereos.com and bought one for 49 bucks plus shipping.[IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
