That's a very neat and precise build, that jig for your dremel looks very useful. I've actually ordered a table saw, looking forward to start using it, no more crooked imprecise cuts with a regular circular saw.
Beautiful and net Job. Some people don’t understand this a very basic but proper way to build a nice bass box which will give you nice results if you need something to save space and have an extra kick for your stereo system. Of course if you need something fancier and more powerful there are more complicated and different ways to do it and of course more expensive.👍

Great job, very nice look and you build it in right way (I have look a lots videos) and most important - great sound ! Congrats ! I vatched few min's before some guy called him self a PRO, he made nice looking box but it sounds like I will never post that video if I was in his place LOL :) You got this 100% ;) Thanks for sharing !
try to put acoustic wool on sides and back. many times will help to get lower Hz and it can add some dB. and also wrap cable in some soft of foam to prevend cable rattle against box. longer port might lower Hz even more. i dont know if that woofer has removable plastic magnet cover. if yes remove it. many times cousing rattle.
the use of acoustic wool is only in case of small enclosures in tight spaces to "virtually" enlarge and reach the desire volume, if your volume is correct no wool is needed, but if its is correct an you add acoustic wool, the sub only will over damp (move in excess) because it sees a "larger" enclosure, causing the coil to travel more than its regular stroke design and probably short and fail due to coil friction in the higher/lower parts of the magnet channel, that's how i blow a couple of subs in the past, remember to reduce 5-10% the box size and you probably have a clean, quiet an loud sub....like this one in the video
"many times will help to get lower Hz and it can add some dB" Depends on the enclosure, and project goals. The other issue is the type of damping makes a huge difference! It can either kill a drivers performance or enhance it. When you add damping, you're opening a can of worms!
Boa tarde. Excelente trabalho parabéns. Tenho um subwoofer slim cadence 12" quero fazer uma caixa que não ocupe muito espaço no meu carro. Meu carro é um fox. Quero também colocar um falante pra voz. O que me sugere?
Magnífico trabajo compañero....una duda....¿no hay que poner material absorbente de relleno en el interior del cajón?...¿las medidas de su proyecto, serían compatibles con un altavoz de diez pulgadas?....muchas gracias por su aportación amigo....un abrazo....
Good morning, my friend, I want to make a box like this for a 12 "250w rms subwoofer which would be the measurements in centimeters of each 15mm mdf piece.
Did you use the actual specs for the speaker? And what about sealing the joints with caulking? I built my own with my uncle and didnt use any caulking or the right specs. When we finally did use the specific dimensions set by the manufacture, the results were amazing. I had 2 ten inch sony explodes, then went onto one 15 inch clarion. The two tens pumped way better. Running on a 240 watt kikr amp. Bridged. Oh i miss the bump, but im not a kid anymore. Need that room for more practical stuff.
Screws or nails are only used to hold it together till the glue dries, the glue is what keeps it together. I see you tinned the speaker wires, then attached the banana plugs, then stuck them under the speaker wire lugs... you didn't need the banana plugs, was a waste of money in that situation. I would have mounted the speaker offset to the side and mounted the amp on top next to it. The only other thing I'd have done is add some bracing, and make sure there were no air leaks.
Makes it more professional looking indeed, but I would only do that if I had free solder and banana plugs for life. Other than that, bare wire is fine. Yeah the amp on the box would be a great idea with standoffs too.
If the box is stiff enough, vibration will never be a problem, and it's vibration that can cause components to fail prematurely, a stiff box is required for maximum efficiency anyways, so adding a second layer of MDF in which to mount the amp to would further reduce vibration, internal bracing will also help, soft rubber between the amp and box is yet another thing that can reduce vibration transfer to the amp.
hey bud, nice and clean job man. so, you used MDF wood, correct? I need to the exact thing for my sierra. can i get the measurements please? thanks bud
