[QUOTE="Joseph7195, post: 7850999, member: 633259"] A month or so ago, I got this home theater sub from a friend, and it was in good shape, so I decided to replace my current sub (was very outdated and old and was beginning to fall apart) so I could get a little better response. I built a small sealed enclosure, and this worried me because the original enclosure was ported, and I also had no T/S specs to go by. But I decided to try it anyway. This thing sounds great!!! It may only be a 6.5" sub, but it does very well at reproducing the lower octaves without having to strain. I ended up using some scrap 3/4" 13 ply birch I had laying around, and just a jigsaw and palm sander. Not much to do, since it was gonna just be a small cube, so all I needed was grill (thanks Mr. @Bettr n&\#39; Revrse ;) and I added some paint and here is the end result: As you can see, it's not a very big sub [IMG]http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r105/joseph7195/home%20theater%20sub/hometheatersub017.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r105/joseph7195/home%20theater%20sub/hometheatersub016.jpg[/IMG] I built just a small, sealed enclosure: [IMG]http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r105/joseph7195/home%20theater%20sub%20grill/hometheatersubgrill004.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r105/joseph7195/home%20theater%20sub%20grill/hometheatersubgrill001.jpg[/IMG] I painted it black, and @Better N Reverse ; sent me a grill and this is the end product: [IMG]http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r105/joseph7195/home%20theater%20sub%20grill/firsthaircut013.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r105/joseph7195/home%20theater%20sub%20grill/firsthaircut012.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r105/joseph7195/home%20theater%20sub%20grill/firsthaircut011.jpg[/IMG] I think it turned out very good!!
