Subwoofer Box
I am thinking about building a good Subwoofer Enclosur for my hopefuly soon to be two subs. I want it to kinda look like these:

Questions:

What size?
Do i seal the box tight shut or do i have a hole anywere? ( i know holes for speaker wires but other then that)
thanks

3/4" MDF
size will depend on what subs you are going to use
it would be sealed unless you want a ported box in which case it is more than just a "hole"

There is a formula for how many cubic feet for each enclosure. I don't know it though. But it depends on how wide you make it as well as the other dimensions. 36" wide by 15" tall is a good start. 36" is the widest you can go in our trunks, and it fits nice and tight and will not move. I have 2 12s and I believe there is 1.5 cubic feet behind each sub. My box is pretty deep compared to Jim, who has two 10s. His box is only 5-6 inches deep whereas mine is more like 13 or 14".
