Newb needs help constructing his sub box I need some advice on constructing a sub box that will hold my 12" Eclipse woofer in the driver's side rear trunk cavity.(like a stealth box).
How did you secure the box to where it won't budge when I drive crazy?
If anybody would send me some dimensions or a design for a sub box that you have built, that would be great too. I'll fudge the dimensions a little to get the exact volume correct for my application.
How did you seal your box to where it is air tight? I figure I'll use some silicone cauk on the joints.

Build it out of card board first to get the measurements down.
99% of the boxes I build are fiberglass so they are air tight. You can put a layer of fiberglass in the inside of the box to seal it and give it strength. Fiberglass is not hard, just take patients.
Also I have never built a box for $30. One sheet of MDF is $25 plus tax.

That doesnt look too bad. Could use some work on the filament but not bad at all
