Easy Breezy review by Nicholas W on 11/12/2023(Posted from the old site)
What a great idea cutting these boxes with a CNC machine. I ordered 2 and they went together about 10x faster than if I cut them myself, and certainly nicer looking too. Highly recommended. -
Worth the price of admission review by Ryan on 11/12/2023
(Posted from the old site)
Ordinarily I wouldn't dream of buying a flat pack because I enjoy the woodworking aspect of building speaker boxes. Unfortunately a torn Achilles early in the year has me a little hobbled, but I still eagerly wanted to build a new HT sub. After picking up an Ultimax 18 from PE I weighed my options. The idea of all that work suddenly seemed more daunting and that it was a perfect time to try a flat pack.
I received the kit in just a couple days and it went together in another two without a hitch. As others have noted, everything came EXTREMELY well packed. The precision cuts are fantastic. I was very impressed. Kudos to Erich all around.
Anyone with limited time or mechanical means should definitely consider one of these kits. It really is a great deal when you consider the time and mess you'd otherwise have in a project like this.
Highly recommended! -
Just look at the reviews. review by Joel on 2/18/2018
(Posted on 2/4/16 from the old site)
There is a reason these have nothing but 5 star reviews, they are EASY to put together and you end up with one hell of a good value. Very tight tolerance on the cuts, the panels fit together perfectly. My OCD won't allow me to use tape, just a bunch of clamps and letting every panel fully set before removing them. Still, they went together with just a few minutes per panel whenever I had time. I managed to get a few of the sides slightly out of square during assembly but a very quick touch with a belt sander yields a box with perfect edges all around. I haven't even bothered to put the Duratex on them yet because they honestly look pretty good as is.
Finally, and most importantly, after building these I ordered a pair of volt 6's for my business and am probably going to order some volt 10's for my shop. I like these DIY kits and would recommend them to a friend. -
Great Enclosure. review by Hoodcom on 2/18/2018
(Posted on 12/10/15 from the old site)
I've originally ended up with this same enclosure when I ordered my 18" Dayton RSS460HO subwoofer as a kit. It's been quite some time since, when I ended up going with the dual opposed enclosure flat packs that were for sale here on DIYsoundgroup. It was my first flat pack assembly and it sure was a good learning experience.
I recently decided to re-use this enclosure, and I ended up having ordered another one that fitted the Stereo Integrity drivers. The reason being, because the JBL 2242H drivers fit the baffle cut for the SI drivers perfectly with some space to spare. I had to modify my original enclosure to make it fit.
I didn't want my original enclosure to go to waste and I wanted a second matching enclosure which made life easier. =) -
Top Notch review by SD on 2/18/2018
(Posted on 9/4/15 from the old site)
The boxes are totally top notch. They go together very easy. Just "dry-fit" them first and make sure the to put them together in proper order. I used Titebond 3 wood glue, excellent. I also used ratchet straps and some gym weights to apply some pressure to the pieces as they dried. I only did a section at a time to ensure proper curing time of the glue. Erich, can you upload the sequence of installation panels onto your site here? I know it's on the avs forums, unfortunately, I can't find it to post a link at this time. Thanks! BTW, I have a qty. of 6 18" SI Subs in my home theater. Stop thinking about building your own and just order these! You will thank me!

Note from Erich: The photos showing assembly order have been on the 4cuft product page. The clickable photos are under the products picture. I'm glad you liked the flat packs. -
Excellent sub build! review by cviper on 2/18/2018
(Posted on 2/13/14 from the old site)
A fellow member from the Klipsch forum directed me here to start my first diy sub, and I'm glad he did.
Thank your sir for your fine quality product. I wasn't aware that this is only a hobby of yours, and after finding that out I was blown away. The pieces for the 4 cu ft sub are cut perfectly. I ordered the cut for the 18" Stereo Integrity drivers, and they just slide right into the cutout for them. I started off with just two boxes, however I will be ordering two more once I have a bigger room to allow such monster subs. Thanks again.! -
Makes DIY very doable for the average joe. review by Pilk on 2/18/2018
(Posted on 2/5/14 from the old site)
These things are worth every penny. After putting together two of these and two Tempest flatpacks I'm convinced that short of owning a CNC there's no way to get the quality of fitment these things provide. Everything fits like a glove. Grab a half dozen 24"-36" bar clamps from Harbor Freight and some TightBond II and you'll have it done in a couple hours (letting things set up between steps). -
Perfect in every way... review by Larry on 2/18/2018
(Posted on 10/6/13 from the old site)
I ordered 4 of these flat packs and it is so simple to build your own subwoofer box!!
All the panels go together easily and the sub slides right in. I like the fact that I can place the threaded binding posts wherever I want...for my situation, I have a tight fit behind my AT screen/false wall and have mounted the posts on the top of the box.
Thanks again Erich!! -
4.0 ch ft flat pack = DIY review by Pre-out on 2/18/2018
(Posted on 4/10/13 from the old site)
Go to Lowes, get a big piece of MDF, screws, glue, new saw blade, filler and a lot of sand paper. Spend many hours cutting, sanding and making a big dust bowl mess out of everything.
or
Buy a couple of these flat packs and a SW of your choice. Open bottle of wine to enjoy while building. Open well packed precut pieces of MDF (very well packed), lay out pieces, glue them up, bam! your done. Make sure that you get a couple of sips of wine down before you build, because they way that these kits are designed you could finish a kit before you finish your wine.
Really good kits and an easy build with your son, spouse, daughter or significant other. CNC cutouts remove all the hollering, cussing and screaming. -
WOW! review by Kevin P on 2/18/2018
(Posted on 4/4/13 from the old site)
Way too easy! Perfect fit: I did the 'just glue and masking tape (blue tape)' thing and it turned out with just a red hair to be trimmed off before painting.
