a leaky box might also sound as if it's farting...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Yeah, silicone... just in case of inperfections...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

They also forgot to tell you that should you be using screws, you should drill the holes first and sink it if you want to carpet it... oh, and use a 90degree ruler so hat our walls and the floor is accurately opposed.

If I may ask, why ?Shape of the enclosure makes no difference. Your enclosure is physicaly too small to have to worry about standing waves. Unless of course your box has dimensions 10-20 ft. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

if your cuts are beveled at 90 degrees but they get put together at 85 degrees, the other side compensates, it is 95 dgrees and you loose a considerable amount of structural integrety. Whenever you build anything that is suppose to be sqaure, you should build it square.

Ah, thank you so much for that~//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

You'll need to align the walls so that it the top (or base) meets squarely with the walls.. if ou put 5degrees off the walls and try to screw it, you would probably see a gap about 2~3mm, and that ain't gonna do you no good, unless you're planning on putting it on the sides and exerting an enormous amount of pressure to make it meet, just cause you didn't use the 90degree ruler...and by then, there's gonna be so much of pressure on the screws of the walls or top(don't tell me you're just gonna use woodglue and hold the pressure down till the dries).. if you build it for a powerful sub, then it might just blow...

Okay I see. I thought you were saying not build it as a perfect square. Yes I do agree. The straighter your cuts, the less silicon you need to use. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

the size of the whole should be under the specs in the manual

1.) invest in a 12 pack and some friends to hold the box together wile work on it.

2.) invest in some bar clamps. Bar clamps don't break your tools when they drink all the beer.

Maybe, but RE doesn't send out manuals when you purchase their products. This is an old post though, I can figure out the size easily, thanks.
