Built my own sub box
 

Built my own sub box a few months back. Ported it with PVC pipe at 4"D x 8"L, used 3/4" MDF for the build, sealed inside and out with Liquid Nails, countersunk about 200 screws into it! lol Anyway I had fun doing it, and it was bliss to hear it the first time! Here is a pic, I will try to get more in my gallery soon.

Also, for those of you who know me, and remmeber the blaze, I dropped it! Pics are in the suspension section.

FYI you dont need ALOT of screws... Just use tite bond and a few screws. The last few boxes Ive built were put together solely w/ tight bond and brads. Much less work, and if you brace its just as strong/ and it looks cleaner. Once the woodglue is dry its many times stronger than the MDF itself....So to make a long post short, 200 screws is about 180 too many... But props on doing it yourself, looks pretty decent. How Are the fosgates?

Yeah true 180 too many, but I had a whole box I would never use again and nothing better to do with them.

The Fosgates are excellent. Very clear, responsive, and booming bass. I have had alot of subs: Kickers, Memphis, MA, and RF. I like RF the best, they last longer and they hit harder IMO.

nice looking build but those plastic cone subs are far from clear and responsive. Booming, i dont doubt it ;)

RE: Built my own sub box
 

Ya, i doubt they're in there for sq ditts.... Some people like loud low bass (not me).

looks nice.

oh i didnt say anything about SQ. Rabbit said, and I quote "Very clear, responsive, and booming bass". booming yes, the other 2 heck no lol

That setup looks sweet, but I don't think I could give up my back seats and that much interior space. I'm sure it makes for a fun ride though.

RE: Built my own sub box
 

I dont think you can get clear and responsive for under $200 IMO... those fosgates are like 2 for $100, so you really cant expect much.

Looks good Troy, I like fosgate over anything else!!
