[QUOTE="nobb, post: 6268491, member: 572163"] So I just thought I would share my recent build. This is the first time Ive ever built a box, or even attempted such a big wood project. The sub is a JL 12W6V2, and I had initially designed it to be a 1.5cu.ft enclosure, but it ended up being 1.18cu.ft in the end, due to me not being able to cut wood straight. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif[/IMG] Im happy how it turned up in the end, but if you guys have any suggestions on how to make this better or comments Id love to hear. Starting off, I had a huge piece of solid pine, so that's what I built my box with.
