[QUOTE="BoondockSaints, post: 3111357, member: 570197"] Ok so I started building the box today. Cut out all the pieces of MDF, essentially the top, front, back, sides, and chamber walls... I ended up having to lift my rear seat a little bit under an inch, but nothing crazy. I still have to cutout the circles for my subs and then glue the sides together so I can start fiber glassing. My question is, I see alot of people doing what looks like 2 seperate rings of MDF glued together so it looks like the Sub is set into the box. How do I do that? Or should I even bother? Also what kind of screws/bolts whatever do I use to put the sub in? And the screw will go down into the wood not wood to the sub right? Sorry its alot I just want to clarify before I continue tomorrow. Also, my box is alot of angles so the box has alot of places where the wood doesnt conjoin smoothly theres cracks and stuff. I imagine the sides and bottom wont be a big deal because Im gonna fiberglass it anyways and that will seal up those leaks, but on the top if it doesn't lay fully smooth is loading it up with a bunch of wood glue gonna do the trick or is there something else I have to do? Oh yah if I want to bolt my box to something will it mess up the sound of the subs if theres a bolt going through it? Any help is appreciated thanks. Ill try and get pics later I dunno where a camera is... [/QUOTE]
