   If you have the space… this is the BEST QUALITY of construction and designed subwoofer cabinet you’re going to find built in the USA, period. This cabinet was designed on a computer using a Cad program, all the materials was milled by a CNC machinist, and then it's assembled by professional cabinet builder. This cabinet comes fully assembled. It is SOLID and ready to go! You can customize it to make it your own. I elected to get the front MDF plate added on because I wanted to recess the subwoofer. The rest of the cabinet is constructed out of Baltic Birch, which is very nice tightly layered plywood. This cabinet is made using all 3/4"material.
   
   All the wood parts fit very tight and are cut to precision dimensions. I'm a woodworking hobbyist, but I could not ever cut the wood this perfect in my own garage. I thought the Baltic Birch grain was so beautiful (that I wanted to see it) so I stained it using a Zar wood finishing product. I used a color called Black Onyx. However, I painted the front baffle using a solid black paint by Rosco it’s a Super Saturated - Velour Black 6003. I think it looks really awesome finished this way.
   
   When you receive it by pallet you'll first be surprised how HUGE it is, but it's worth it if you have the space!! There are obviously a few things you’re going to need to do when you receive it: (1) Finish the outside (2) You may want to add some acoustic foam (using spray glue) or other dampening material inside (3) You'll need to add 3 precision port tubes. (4) Add the speaker wire terminals. (5) You may want to add some rubber isolator feet to help the vibration to avoid shaking your home down! (6) Then finally install your 18" sub!
   
   By the time you’re done, this completely assembled subwoofer will probably weight 250+lbs, so plan to recruit some muscle to move it into place. Once it's connected your gonna be blown away with the LOW bass this unit pushes out. You can feel it!!! I choose to power mine sub using a SpeakerPower Amplifier, SP1-2400 watt HT, 4 Ohms, Mono unit (custom built). To say the least, I am very happy with the performance of my first DYI sub build. It takes our movie watching experience to a whole new level (and a low level it is). Thank you Erich for providing us the availability of buying a cabinet this well-built. If I had to do it all over again, I’d do it the exact same way.
