[QUOTE="hispls, post: 7506793, member: 614752"] The key element is knowing how accoustics inside a car's cabin function. There's a saying in the diy home theater crowd that the dominant factor of how a speaker system will sound is the room you put it in. Personally I've been using sono-tube for my flares and roundovers lately with good results. No wrong way to build a box provided it is structurally sound when you're done. In theory you could build it out of cardboard or doll-houses and add 3/4" of fiberglass and it would function well enough.... dunno if I'd soak anything in the pool, or even steam bend really. Knowing which direction to fire ports and woofers, and what type of woofer works best for what goals in what alignment is largely (unles you're well educated in accoustics and fluid dynamics) a matter of trial and error. No substitute for creating a lot of sawdust. People who have really good sounding or super loud (on the meter) boxes generally don't get there first try. I've done well over a dozen in the last year and a half and only hit on one that really impressed me, and that was a complete accident on my part! [/QUOTE]
