is the box ported??

pre-drill the holes with the diameter of inner part of the screw if your screwing into MDF to prevent it from splitting.

Make sure you get a real good seal if you are going sealed.

Who's being a doosh? He's suggesting you get hurricane nuts http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&Partnumber=081-1080

Nobody's being a doosh, because I don't believe there is any such thing. Douche maybe, but not doosh.

I think that he thought that he was calling him a hurricane nut. That's funny.

If you're going ported, a box really should be designed around a sub. Adding polyfill will make the sub think that the box is bigger than it really is...so I'd so go for it if you hear a bad peak in the frequency response.

wow do i feel stupid i thought he was making somekind of sarchastic remark.

The box is built tp the specs of the sub so i should just bolt in the sub and be all set

thanks
