I had no real extra skills as a carpenter, i was a dam kid. But I made my way through the design and cut sheet. Then glued and screwed it together. She wasn't the prettiest box and the equipment was just hilarious. Some really frickin old Kicker 12s with paper cones and foam surround that was deteriorating. These were clamshelled together in the self made box and for an amp, just a little also very old audiobahn 150 watt. But that moment when I realized that my substage sounded cleaner than everyone else's and louder than most with this old low power gear I fell for this hobby. I've never since bought a prefab box nor would I. Ask anyone who has ever built their own box on here, even if it was ****** the first time, they will tell you it's worth it in so many ways.
