After deciding what to build I came up with the following parts list from PartsExpress,

4 x F1687 Rubber Cabinet Foot 260-777
1 x Acousta-Stuf Polyfill 1 lb. Bag 260-317
2 x Dayton Audio BPA-38G HD Binding Post 091-1245
1 x Dayton Audio 16 AWG OFC Speaker Wire 50 ft. 100-016
1 x TC Sounds Epic 12" DVC Subwoofer 293-650

Fortunately for me I had enough 1" MDF leftover from another project to make the cabinet. The only tools I used for this project was my table saw with a dado blade, a cordless drill, and a router.

Here's a pic of the beginning.

Briefly, I rabbetted the sides of the top and bottom pieces to accept the sides. I also rabbetted the front and back edges of all four sides to accept the front and back baffles. I also cut a 1/4" deep groove in all four sides to accept the braces.

Sounds good only partially calibrated. I used the one bag of Acousta-Stuf Polyfill. I suspect that the well braced 1" MDF cabinet is fairly inert.

I've done some very rough measurements with an RS SPL meter and I do have some bad room peaks and valleys in my bass response. That's why I'm itching to take delivery of my BFD and start tinkering with REW.

Dan
