[QUOTE="PapaGeno21, post: 3554414, member: 581625"] Hey guys the box I have in my sig is my first ported box on my completely new setup. My old CVR's were sealed and I honestly THINK I like sealed more than the ported box. I dont care at all about SPL. Loudness doesent mean anything to me, even though I will lose some power using a sealed box I dont care becuase 1000 watts is so much more than I need im fine with it. I leave my bass knob at around 2 with rap and more like 7 with rock becuase the ported box isnt hitting the way my sealed box used to with the nice bass drums and stuff. So im thinking about building a box on my own, sealed kind of like a test to see what I really like. I was planning on 3/4" MDF and if I can find 1" I would use that. My plan was 3.75 Cubic Feet with dimensions being 24" Wide, 18" High, 19" Deep. I figured that would be a good happy medium for my CVX 15" DVC 4 ohm. Anyways I have one small problem. Where do I get the terminals I put on the back of the box so that I can connect speaker wires to the box? What do you all think? Im not even going to unbolt the ported box or anything until I test the sealed one just to make sure I like it. Also, I was going to use wood glue and drill out the holes, and countersink them also so it looks nice, but on the inside do I need some kind of caulking? What kind do you all use? Should I use poli-fill? [/QUOTE]
