[QUOTE="hogger, post: 82011, member: 543153"] First off I would definately use 3/4" thick wood. The best wood to use is MDF (medium density fiberboard), its about 20 bucks a sheet. If the box is for more than one sub, you should make each sub its own chamber. I personally like sealed boxes better than ported, buts its all opinion. If your shootin for a tight clean and punchy bass, then you want a sealed box, but if you want boomierand a little bit louder bass,you want to go ported. Whichever you decide to build, I think the most important aspect of a box is how airtight it is. I used about four tubes of liqui nails on ever crack and crevice inside of my box. It makes the bass a whole lot cleaner if it has some air pressure behind it to press against. I personally think terminalslook more profesional, but just drilling a whole is easier, just make sure you use come caulk around the hole. Carpet definately isnt nessesary, but I think it is worth the time. It only costs about 10 bucks for the carpet so I figure why not. THats about all I got, hope I helped. [/QUOTE]
