Other useful items are large wood clamps and a router and bits to round the cormers and to recess the speakers. Hole saws are also useful. Learning how to work with adhesives and how to cover boxes with acoustic carpet is another useful skill. I build all my own boxes for car, home and for friends...

Also by building your own enclosure you can make the box to the manufacturers recommended settings, IE..Theil small parameters. Also since no company that I have found makes kick panel enclosures for our cars, I will be fabricating my own fiberglass ones here within the next 1.5 weeks, plan to cover with pumice colored carpet to match my interior, and then my stereo will be complete.

IMO, stronger, and also the fact that it's lighter. Problem is that it's a little more pricey Remember this is why we're at war!
