use 3/4" not 1/2".....and its not as simple as saying the box shape. The box is extremely important to make sure its designed correctly and built correctly.

ask someone here to make a box plan for you....all you need is the dimensions of the space it needs to fit into, and the sub model

Who would be a good person to ask?

PM me the make and model of subwoofer you have as well as the dimensions you are planning to put it in (length, width, and height).

Let me know if you want sealed or ported too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Don't know about the ported or seal?? I'm a newb to this.

no.....use wood glue

i still say use gorilla glue since mdf is mainly glue anyways. The bond is stronger then the mdf!

ive personally tried to break a gorilla glue bond after it dried between 2 pieces of mdf on a 3/4" edge and the mdf broke right next to the glue joint, about 1/8 - 1/4" from the joint. but dont listen to me i dont know anything, im only going to school to be a material science engineer and am in the top 5th percentile of my class for GPA's.
