built a sub box

[gobulls32 10+ year member]

I built my own sub box (sealed) to avoid paying a dealer $125-$150 bucks depending on where i buy my system. I used 3/4 MDF and it's solid as a rock with screws and glue. Outside of adding the speaker connections and fill material is there anything that i haven't thought of? Yes it is the proper size for either of the two subs i am considering. And yes i accounted for the sub displacement.

Oh, and yes i am aware i have to have holes for the sub and speaker inputs. Figured i should establish that before some smart a.. mentions it.

Thanks.

he had a legitimate question just so u guys know.

but t think you are good, just double check your measurements when cutting the whole for the sub, as to not make any mistakes.

also make sure that the air tight seals are thick and very air tight

Thanks DePratt. Haven't yet but intended to caulk all corners as well. Tripled checked the measurements when building and will stick to that when making cutouts.

by the way, the humor is all good with me. It's what i live for.
