Now that you know about subwoofer specications it’s time to learn about building subwoofer boxes. If you’ve done any woodworking you shouldn’t have much
I
trouble when building a subwoofer enclosure. One of the main differences will
probably be the material used in building subwoofer boxes as compared to
other woodworking projects. When building a custom subwoofer box you will
want to use minimal MDF (medium density berboard).
