Building an Enclosure

Use at least 3⁄4-inch MDF to build the enclosure (1-inch is preferable). The joints should be liberally glued with car- penter’s wood glue and screwed together with wood screws and sealed internally with a bead of silicone rub- ber or hot melt glue.

Drill pilot holes to prevent the wood from splitting and tighten the screws as much as possible. Excess glue can be wiped off with a damp sponge or paper towel.

Warning

It is extremely important to completely seal the enclo- sure. Even small leaks can have a dramatic effect on sub- woofer performance. Look, listen, and test for leaks at all joints, around the subwoofer perimeter, and at the wire entrance location.
