The new Max-X MX15-22 subwoofer is a high excursion beast. Subwoofer box design can be tricky. C an we design a subwoofer box that has deep bass?
MK Boom – winning design
Recently Sound Advice had a boombox competition. The goal was to take a premade boombox kit from Parts Express and transform it aesthetically to just wow people. I ended up with the MK boom, an inexpensive $130 kit. It was small, so I had to get creative.

How to Hide a Sub in Plain Sight
Let's be honest with Audio there is typically a certain amount of WAF (wife acceptance factor) that needs to be considered. And typically subwoofers are the least accepted component of a home theater or stereo. They are just ugly boxes that sit in the corner and make loud booms aka bass.

Sealed or Ported Sub? What should I do?
It seems like this would be an easy decision. Just pick the box that best fits your design goal.

HOW TO BUILD $3,500 SPEAKERS FOR $400 – KLIPSCH KL-650 COPY
The Klipsch KL-650 THX Ultra II were iconic in the Home Theater Industry.

And although, for movie theater speakers, that isn't crazy, it is still a lot more than I want to spend on my Home Theater. And truthfully, I think that is the same as most other people. SO why not build some, for a lot cheaper.
