[QUOTE="spoonraker, post: 3053322, member: 570956"] Don't buy your wood at Home Depot, their MDF is horrible, it looks like PlyWood. Also they don't do "precision cuts" as they told me, meaning they won't do a half inch or quarter inch cut, only round numbers. After seeing their wood and having them tell me they don't do cuts I just went to Lowes which was a block down the street where their MDF actually doesn't look like plywood and they were happy to do my precision cuts. Anyway...For a simple sealed box, supply-wise, you'll need wood, a small bottle of wood glue, a box of screws around 2'' long, a tube of caulk, can of spraypaint, spray on glue, and carpet. That is assuming you're painting your port and carpeting your box. For tools you'll need a good electrical screwdriver with at least two bits, one that matches your screw's head, and one hole drilling bit that is slightly smaller than the diameter of your screws for pre-drilling the screw holes. You'll need two clamps that can match the length of the longest piece of wood you have, I picked up a 36'' capacity clamp at lowes for $15. You'll need a caulking gun. Either a router with a spiral upcut bit, or a jigsaw, depending on how much money you want to spend, for cutting the holes for the subwoofer. Other things you might find handy are a marker, tape measure, and a friend to help you. Also you'll need a subwoofer and a terminal cup [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
