Make your own, what ever you get get 1inch think MDF for pounding sound.

Here's a good site to teach you how...

lol probely not but that was done on my photoshop program

 

[t85konrad]

so what would be easier mdf or fiberglass.

 

[jdmspivic]

MDF man , But if u want a quality box u shuold get it made out of birch wood. Sounds better. Will be a lil more than mdf but cheaper than fiberglass.

 

[EG Hatch]

Birch Wood is really good, but just stick with the normal MDF 3/4 Inch. if you want Fibreglass then do that as well.

 

[jdmspivic]

mdf is the cheap way to go . Im sure he wants to do it the right way. And if u do then birch is your best bet

well its not put together so i cn just get some mdf or birch and 3/4 is a god size right or can i get away w/ a 1/2

 

[EG Hatch]

oh dont go 1/2 inch, you want at least 3/4 inch. and the reason why plywood is no good is because it is composed of lots of thin sheets and they rattle. wood flexes as the subwoofer(s) is/are in motion. i know some little secrets to make your subwoofer a little louder.

cool site, you can make a subwoofer box on there. i made one from their dimensions and it sounds amazing. this site lets you create your own box. give it a try. also, if you want loud then get aeroports because bass travels in circles but if you want just nice get slotted. to also make it a little louder, make the corners 45degrees. and to make it hit harder put fiberglass resin on the inside of the box.

 

[jdmspivic]

you want 3/4 to an inch . and that ply wood is sure to break sooner or later
