Custom sub box, Interested come in Hey guys/gals, so yesterday I was bored outta my mind, I saw the subs that I had gotten for Christmas and thought...Holy S*** I still have those. So I went to home depot to price some sheets of MDF and bought it with a can of liquid nails ( greatest stuff invented yet). So any way I had taken measurments already and had a template, so all I needed to do was trace and cut. Now know this that a 1st time useing a Jigsaw is a pain, but I got use to it. From there just measure the space you have behind the front piece to get an accurate length of how far each side should go back, Make pieces and glue together. Check the picks
First trace out of cardboard
Trace and cut that piece
Then retro fit how the box is going to go in
^This side fit perfectly its the drivers side Im having an issue with
Where'd it go????
There it is "Steathy"
Then this is the drivers side, being a little biotch to go in
To hold it all together
Whats going in these boxes
All the MDF left 3/4 of the sheet
This is what happens when there's wind and ur cutting next to ur car
A P-90 formed out of a broken piece + a sharpee helped
There not done yet, tomorrow I will do some more work since the drivers side needs to be fit and holes need to be cut open

Completion Ok so today I picked up some charcoal fabric from best buy and finished off the 2 boxes
I measured each side made a circumference with a pencil and a nail then cut a hole with the Jigsaw, and finished it off with a router
Carpeted and cut
Then Staple gunned
Both sides completed
Who said a 12" sub wouldn't fit??
Just fits perfectly

How about respect to t/s parameters and air space requirements of the drivers? You are running them free air. Expect them to blow with any moderate amount of power and to sound absolutely horrible. You cannot just throw a subwoofer into a partially made box with a random volume of air and expect it to work.
You should do a little bit more research into WHY subwoofers go into enclosures at all.
This is a fantastic site to get you started. Nothing like building your first box, but a little knowledge and research would have saved you the wasted effort.
