[QUOTE="Blazin Civic, post: 287876, member: 548986"] Use MDF...best reason I can give you is most people use it for boxes and it works really well obviously. I use wood glue and then I use course dry wall screws to hold it in. One screw every 3 inches. Now for tools I really recommend you go to sears and buy this thing called the all in one cutting tool. It is like a roto zip and it is a lifesaver for baffle cutting. Also get some of the bits for it made by roto zip that come in the blue bag. If you don't buy one of these the baffle can be cut with a jigsaw, compass, and a good blade. Gonna need a drill and a countersink bit. If your not having the place cut your wood you will need a circular saw and a square unless you have a table saw and all those fun tools. You will need some silicone caulking to seal the edges of the box. Some box carpet, 7M spray glue and a terminal cup is also a good idea for a good clean looking box. Honestly I would get a 12 or 15 A over either of those. What are your goals for the sub? [/QUOTE]
