New member Username: JodavisToronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 2 Registered: Apr-09 | Hello, I'm building my own subwoofer for a basement I will be moving to. I don't have any idea on the right enclosure for home use. How do you get the right box for a sub? Here's my future sub: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=293-622 |

You would probably be wise to order one of their prefabricated enclosures and not mess with building a box yourself. Call their tech services department. . |

Silver Member Username: MagfanUSA Post Number: 428 Registered: Oct-07 | Nuck....I looked up this driver and it is pretty pricey....so much so that he could get a HSU VTF3. I think we have another Andre here, and he wants realistic jet plane takeoffs, right in his own living room. Too much is never enough, I say......... |
