shop bought box vs box built to specs
How much better is it to build the box for your subs according to specs?
There seems to be many boxes available but I suppose it would be better to build it yourself. What benefit does it have when you use a spec box? Better bass quality? |

Better build quality, for one. 3/4" MDF v 1/2" particle board, most of the time.. http://www.installer.com/tech/boxstrength.html http://www.installer.com/tech/box.html narcolept ----- yes, I replied just to beat TWFER to his own links |

IMHO if the box is built using quality materials theres minimal difference.
IMHO the main advantage to building your own is that you can choose a sub FIRST and then design/tune the enclosure around it. If you buy a prebuilt box, woofer selection narrows down to a sub that will perfrom optimally with THAT prebuilt enlosure volume.

No to mention the box will fit how YOU want it to, not how some dork in a
wood shop thinks it should fit in all cars. Paul Vina "sanitarium" wrote in message ... IMHO if the box is built using quality materials theres minimal difference.

most of the time when folks try to build thier own box they
have no idea what they are doing... In this case manytimes the store bought box would be better.... Store bought boxes are not BAD, boxes you buld yourself if you dont know whatyour doing could be VERY BAD! I have laughed at many in my time..!! However, building a box yourself gives you total control of more of the aspects of the woofer system design and with training in *speaker design*, *cabinetry*, and *accoustics*, and with some *experementing* it is possible to make a better sounding box!
