Bronze Member Username: Bp317Post Number: 26 Registered: Aug-05 | well, i have everything i need for my system right now except for a box. Since its my first box i was wondering if i should design and build a box or just buy one? my subs recommend 2ft^3 each and all the boxes i have seen have about 1.5ft^3, would that be ok? What is the ballpark price of building my own box? thanks. |

The best thing is to build your own because then you can get the extact size that the subs were made for. I you need is a sheet of MDF, screws, caulking, etc. to build your own. |

Bronze Member Username: Bp317Post Number: 27 Registered: Aug-05 | alright, thanks guys. i've made plans for a custom box but i didnt do much research on the cost of supplies. i think i might just go ahead and build my own box...but where should i mount my amp? i have a PA 1600 and its a pretty long amp and ive read that mounting to the box is a bad idea. |
