ok i made my first subwoofer box and **** does it hit loud. its ported and tuned to 35 hrtz. i didnt wanna pay someone 10 or 5 bucks just to design it for me. so my go ahead and just do it attitude learned quickly and used the ported accelerator from http://www.accelerator-pedal.com/ported-box.asp#
(very easy to use i might add but is it accurate?? many people on this board said it was )
man does the box look great. i read up on alot of posts people put out there about how to cut the box, cut circles using a jigsaw, mdf 3/4 wood, wood glue, drywall screws, sealing with silicone so i think its a really good box if not excellent for a first timer!
