[QUOTE="BSchrowang, post: 8510735, member: 669770"] 1. Find airspace the driver wants. Probably 2.5 to 3.5 cubes. 2. Find total area you have to work with. L x H x W 3. Decide how you want to mount driver. 4. Choose 2 dimensions that are the most limited, usally W and H 5. Take number from 1. ( airspace) and mulitiply by 1728. Then add driver displacement (around .25 x 1728) Divide that by (W - 1.5) and by (H - 1.5) account for wood thickness. 6. The last number is your length. Just add 1.5 for wood and there are you outside dimensions. To build you need Table saw - cut boards to size and angle Router - cut speaker hole Jig saw - cut speaker hole - router is better Screws - to screw - Always pre-drill holes Liquid nails - to form a tight bond between box sides Silicone - seal box from inside. Wood - 3/4"mdf or 3/4" baltic birch plywood. - its highly reccomeded to make the front baffle with the sub 2 layers thick. Measure 3x before cutting. A leaky box is a bad box Use the pythagoream theorm and sin, cos and tan to find angles Lastly. This is the most important step. I see so many people mess this up. Use Common Sense. If it doesnt seem right, then it's probably not [/QUOTE]
