Yeah!!! That's a great banner and I'm happy to hit the front page. Thanks!
You deserve it, that was a great idea for a mod! I noticed that is looks like you used "particle board" for your box, in the future I would HIGHLY recommend using MDF instead as it makes for a much better sealed and sounding box. The best way (especially for larger subs) to build the box is to use 2 layers of MDF firmly glued together for each side. One other technique I have used persoanlly (but did not build it myself) is a dual-ply MDF box with a fiberglass core attached to the front board but not touching any of the other internal surfaces. It produces a very smooth tuned box, the best sounding box I've ever owned. For home subs which classically run at 8 ohms, you usually want a softer and deeper bass which this design provides. Great job though, I am suprised we don't see more speaker mods. +rep!

It's MDF. I still sanded and used wood filler to get a smoother, easier to paint/finish surface. I would never dream of using particle board. It was, however, 3/4in MDF.
Ah, my mistake.
