Question for the sound boffins - Speaker box
I want to know how a speaker box is build.
What do they mean when they say the box is build to spec? How do they work out what the spec should be? Do they work it out according to the size of your boot or the size of the speaker.What would be the best materials to use when building a box
I heard somewhere that they measure the box in liters, If so why?
AND WHY ARE THEY SO DAMM EXPENSIVE

Cause they need to be well/specifically built to ensure best sound. I have a .PDF manual on building various types of boxes downloaded from the Rockford site lemme know if you want it. MBQuarts has a very nice FAQ section on their site that I also found very enlightening.ME&MYCTi wrote:AND WHY ARE THEY SO DAMM EXPENSIVE

You can also download programs (I think the Kenwood website) that give the dimensions of the box you need to build, based on the thickness of the material you are using and what litreage you need.
The boxes they sell at sound shops are pretty good for most subs (Pioneer, Kenwood, Calibra, middle of the range stuff). However if you buy a 4grand subwoofer its best to put it in a custom made box.
I made one once out of plywood, wood glue, lots of screws and silcon sealant. Worked like a treat.
