Do It Yourself SubWoofer Box, Is It Worth It?

Sure you could build your own subwoofer box - but how much do you really save?  First you have to design the subwoofer box and make sure everything is just right. Then you have to drive around town finding the materials: Wood (MDF), carpet, glue, caulking and connectors (see estimated material costs below).  Then you have to cut your materials, assemble the subwoofer box and then hope everything comes together as planned (Murphy’s Law not withstanding).  The last thing you want to do is miscalculate and have to start over.  Let’s just assume everything goes right up to this point in the project – now you are faced with the challenge of carpeting an odd shaped subwoofer enclosure.  Best case scenario you are successful and accomplish this entire process in under 10 hrs – best case!  Now your weekend is half over when you could have been out enjoying your tunes with our custom built, guaranteed to fit Subwoofer Box.  Is your “spare” time not worth at least $15/hour? That subwoofer box you just built just cost you $150+ and that doesn’t include any materials*. 

Here’s a rough estimate for a typical DYI subwoofer box:

* Estimated Material Costs:

Single sheet of MDF =          $25
Glue =                                  $15 (high end wood glue)
Nails or staples =               $  5 (16 to 18 gauge)
Terminal(s) =                      $  3
Caulk to seal seams =        $  5
Carpet -                                           $35
Total Estimated Material Cost =       $88.00

Estimate labor cost                          $150

Tools Required:

Table Saw (ideal)
Jig Saw (or router)
Nail Gun (ideal)
Hole Saw (for terminals)
Clamps

Subwoofer boxes can be purchased online for reasonable prices.  Many companies build Subwoofer enclosures for less money because these boxes are built hundreds at a time from templates.  They also save on material costs because they buy in bulk from wholesalers.

You can easily order custom Truck Subwoofer Boxes or Car Subwoofer Enclosures online. For example, at SuperCrewSound.com, you can select from a variety of subwoofer boxes. Theses subwoofer boxes are custom built and professionally designed to fit specific vehicle models.

So before you contemplate on building your own subwoofer box, you might want to consider leaving the work to the professionals - enjoy your time, save money and get a better subwoofer box in the process.  Makes sense doesn’t it?
