A lot of prefab boxes are made as cheaply as possible. Thin MDF, poorly glued together, screws aren't predrilled so there are cracks, carpet not glued on properly etc.

not to mention the ported boxes are usually tuned very poorly

Most pre-fab boxes aren't built specifically for a sub, which is what you need. A shitty box can make a great sub be shitty //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

if i was going to use a prefab box it would have to be sealed

As long as they use 3/4 MDF and 1 MDF on the front....

Generally, a prefab box will cost you more than the price of building your own. So why not build it yourself and save the money?

Prefabs ****..

My buddy has one for his 2 15s and it started rattling really bad. Come to find out it was coming apart and they didn't even screw it together it was only held together by glue. I screwed it all together as a temp fix and im going to build him one myself. As said earlier its even cheaper to build your own.

I have a prefab made of 1" mdf that I would never get rid of. I wish I knew who made it...

You don't need screws to build a box, the glue is good enough, if done correctly. People build boxes without screws all the time, that box was obviously just not properly constructed.

Just like stated above, a chemical bond is stronger than a physical bond.
