OK, here are some work-in-progress shots of the subwoofer box. Some quick specs:

• 2 cubic feet per side
• 14.5"x2"x16.5" port
• MTX TS5512-22 (12" square 600Watts RMS, they will be getting 493 watts RMS each via an MTX TS8001 class D monoblock - I'll post a scan of the spec sheet showing the tested RMS output)
• Box is made from 3/4" hi-density particle board (about 75 pounds per 4X8 sheet).
• Non dadoed joints use multiple #20 biscuits. Combination of wood glue, PL-400, #8 2" screws, #20 biscuits and staples hold the beast together).

 

Custom box, 2 cubic feet per side, with a 14"x2"x16.75X port.

 

Back, bottom, and side. Dados partially cut.

 

Big front baffle board. All gaps will be filled with bondo before stretching the carpet.

 

Right side of box (box will get yellow glass insulation on all panels). Port not...
