yeh you need screws,pva works well coz its a rubber like glue and works like the mdf,oh,and it does depend on the sub,but what subs are they using,no point in havin subs unless you kikin out 300+rms,so back to my first point,sorry

What are u talking about, Subs make a big dif no matter what power. Mine are rated at 400 rms each, but i prolly never use them over maybe 100, and it makes so much dif. even a 200 watt sub would change the whole sound of your system.

im using jl audio 10inch w3v2 subs, 300rms but im not going to be putting that much into it. im no looking for the loudest. i just want good SQ




ya i know all that im going to carpet the inside to make it seem like more room and im haveing this buddy that owns a stereo company make it sound good. i just didnt want to pay for him to make it,

W3V2's are Very nice subs. great for SQ and a little SQL, with only a 100rms each you can get great results from them, you do not have to have a subs Full rms to make them reach full performance... SPL subs need that, not SQ and SQL subs, giving a sub its full rms can either be bad or good, depending on how the gainsare set. with only 75rms them W3V2's can reach full excursion...he will be fine..... although the box is a little weird shaped (doesnt matter how a box is shaped as long as it meets the specs) its probably around 1cf. which the subs will do fine in the box, as they said, i hope you didnt use actual nails because the box will soon come apart. use deck screws, they go in real easy and work very well....also pre drill with a bit smaller than the screws.... for sealent use liquid nails or clear silicone.... inverting the subs will not make any difference on the sounds, only the looks.... that will also be dangerous if he puts anything back there... Exile is better off putting them in regular and putting some grills over them to protect them from anything he puts back there. putting cotton in a box makes the subs think the box is really bigger than it is. when you put the subs in the box and you think they need more room, try putting some in.... anyway thats all i got, LaTeR

Incorrect. Fiberglass is very, very strong, especially in curves, and can be made just as strong as MDF boxes with far less thickness(and weight.)

Now if you were making a fiberglass sub box with lots of flat spots, it'd make sense to use MDF in those flat spots(or use rope or something to create curves; Curves = strength with fiberglass.)

And also, you don't need 300 watts RMS for subs. Maybe for something horribly inefficient, but I've had my ears hurting from one of my subs running 150 watts RMS. And that sub wasn't even efficient really. Remember, every time you double the wattage, you're only gaining approximately 3 db of volume.

wimp, i have 2 12" 350 blowin the boot off my corsa,double the wattage,the higher it goes, and the further they hear me cummin,but i hear what your sayin,get it,in the ss2 im still decidin what to get,i fancy vibe space or black air,do you get vibe in the us

ya i got a memphis 150x2 amp to go to it. also it might be alittle small so im going to carpet the inside and have my friend at the audio place hook it up and make it sound perfect.

fiberglass gets stronger with the more layers you put on it, i am a traditional guy and i do not like fiberglass period. ill always stick with 3/4 MDF... just a matter of opinion.

fiber glass costs loads too,but its up to you
