Sounds spot on. If you used the RE Calculator, I'd say go ahead and print that off with the cutsheet and start building. Once you put the sub in there, it should drop the volume inside the box to about 2.25 cubes and the tuning would bump up a tad, probably right around 34Hz flat. That should sound really nice.

and port area is all good.... thanks dnick youve been a big help. Ill update you on my box build. Im gonna use titebond or something like that cuz ive seen alot of people rec that glue. Screws on the outside (not risking screws on the port walls)?? Probably just spray paint the exterior.

You can put screws into just about anywhere on the box so long as you pre-drill correctly, and don't put the screw really close to the end of a piece, because it will split easier.

As far as glue goes, Titebond wood glue is a good choice. If your cuts are straight and at 90 degree angles and you put clamps on the wood, then those joints will cure almost as strong as the MDF itself.

And yeah, please make a build log, I'd like to see your progress as you build it. And if you have any questions or concerns while building, anyone here can guide you in the right direction.

Good luck with the build //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Looking forward to seeing some results.
