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.
