I started building my first sealed box today out of 3/4" MDF and after a few hours of work I now have a newfound respect for all of you that do custom boxes.
Maybe I found it a little harder becuase it was my first attempt and the table saw we were using we had trouble squaring up but it was a 7 out of 10 for difficulty. I was expecting it to go a little smoother
anyways, I will certainly appreciate all those custom boxes from all you just a little bit more so don't be afraid to posts pics of what you've built

 

oops this might be in the wrong forum
can a mod please move this to general discussion
sorry

 

Dont worry, by the 4th or 5th one you'll be a pro [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

Be sure to make that sucker airtight and let the sillycone dry overnight before putting the sub in, the fumes can damage the woofer.

Let us know how it sounds [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

 

I will let you know for sure

will outdoor silicone do the job?
or should I get something else

 

I used outdoor silicone for my first subwoofer-box, had no problems with it, it´s still running in a friends car.
Make sure that the silicone is completely dry before mounting the woofer, as already said above.

 

why do you need silicone??? lol

 

A combination of wood glue amd saw dust makes a better seal, and cheaper.
Silicone can emit fumes that will dissolve some glues in the manufacturing of the speaker.
