havent worked with the 10" version though i have built boxes for the 12 & 15 " in it

specs i used were very close to the largest box RF recommends so i suggest u try that to get some good performance with ur 10".....

ok now ive never built a box from scratch, when i go to the site, will it give me dimensions and stuff because i dont know how to figure that stuff out. i want to design a box so it sits on the seat but the sub and port are about 7 or 8 inches from the roof in the quad cab dakota.

not really a difference when using aero ports and an L ported box.. just get any wood screws, or staples for a staple gun for an air compressor.. titebond glue works good.. thats about all u need...

i would not rec. stapling. But definently use wood screws (course thread, 1 5/8") and titebond 1 or 2. And yes, there is no difference between aero's and slot ports. Besides looks and space requirements, each one has their advantages.

bassmann3.. its not exactly a staple.. its more of a nail. its not two pronged like a staple. it goes in an air compressored gun and when you shoot them in wood, they lock into the wood. cant think if the exact name. its what i build all my boxes with.. holds just as good as screws, but doesnt chip and split like screws do

tac it togther with nails, using wood glue at the joins. then once the box is complete use a counter sink pilot bit then use screws. the screw will be sink into ur box and if u use the right piot bit and screw straight into the wood u shoudnt split the wood.

i looked online and they said to use number 8 woodscrews, 2 1/4 inch with the first three quearters of an inch below the head has no threads. so ill see how that works out today? do i glue then screw? or do i just screw then silicone the inside?
