Box calculators like subwoofertools.com aren't really that great. |

Silver Member Username: M0nkeyman692Post Number: 120 Registered: Feb-07 | i agree with matt on the size and tuning of the box. and for the making it part just try to do it your self.. get a sheet of 3/4 mdf and build it. but just do it carefully. and make sure all your calculations are right... |
