_S7V7N_'s box

[_S7V7N_]

Family first bro, i totally understand, i'm in the same boat, Wed's and Thurs are my days off, And myself and my g/f work diff schedules so our evenings are spent together when i'm off since we don't see each other much the rest of the week. My baby bro is getting married in July so i know how that goes, i have to go get fitted and a million other things, and being his best man i have Loads of crap as well..So no worries bro, I look at it as a favor and you helping out when you can.. Beggars can't be choosers, So i'll take whatever i can get whenever the info comes in. I'm not at the box building stage yet anyways financially..Maybe ina few weeks i'll be ready to go forward on that.

have you ever made speaker boxes before? .... or done much wood working before?

3/4" MDF is generally the wood of choice for boxes, partical board is just too porous & doesn't hold up as well. If you can source it, and afford it, Baltic Birch or some other Marine Grade Plywood is optimal (low weight, extremely rigid) cost is usually 2-3 times that of MDF tho.

A router with a circle jig is a nice tool to have for cutting sub wholes (or port holes), but a jigsaw can do the job as well, just not as perfectly.

Box building can get spendy quick, the costs in paint or carpet can add up, and the box material you choose can be spendy too (MDF/BB/Fiberglass).

ok, time to go home and run a mile with the dog.
