[QUOTE="ryanc, post: 410934, member: 553679"] You should make the box from 3/4" MDF and I always use 1 5/8" coarse thread drywall screws (countersunk with pilot holes to avoid splitting). I also wood-glue all the pieces together. When designing your box be sure to take the thickness of the box into account. $70 isn't really that bad for a single 15 L7 box - you paid enough for that sub, you may want to be sure the box is built correctly. Make sure it's MDF and not particleboard though - and be sure its 3/4" MDF. Also, if its a really big box, you may want to consider internal bracing as well to make the box more solid and resonate less. [/QUOTE]
