Hey all!
First off, great site! I’m just about to take the plunge and start working on upgrading my sound system from factory.

Is there an ideal shape for a sub enclosure as long as it has the manufactures recommended volume? From reading the forums I see a lot of the standard rectangle shapes and was thinking about something a little different to save some truck space.

Material for the box: What thickness of MDF should I use for a sub enclosure? ¾ for bottom, top, sides and glue two pieces together for the front?

Sealing the enclosure: Glued and screwed with liquid nails? Just wondering how many screws to use, one every 4 inches?

Thanks
Andrew

 

hahaha, welcome to CCA.

3/4 to 1" MDF for enclosures. I use LePage wood glue, and air nailer now. If your going to use screws take the time to pre-drill the holes.

Shape doesn't make a big difference. Mostly port size/tuning (if going ported) and enclosure internal volume are the most important.
