Built my OWN subwoofer!

Hello everyone! I have been MIA building my own sub! It sounds grrrreat! BUT... it is not a perfect fit. I did not take dimensions down because I knew this was a trial run. My next project will be making one out of fiberglass.

Some specs are:
1 Alpine V12 5-channel amp (50W/channel RMS + 200W/sub RMS)~ $300
2 High to Low converters ~$30
1 3/4" particle board ~ $20
Bag of screws ~$4
3 sq yds of black carpet ~ $10
Power wires + RCA cables ~ $25
1 8" dual voice coil Subwoofer (200W RMS)~ $150
4 hours to build the sub
4 hours to wire it up ~ $75 (I had it done at a local shop)

Like I said, it's not a perfect fit and I still need to get a grill to protect it from being kicked in, but it sounds great and was a lot of fun building! I am looking to experiment with fiberglass next. I'll post pics of those when I get to it. Good enough for now! Hehe...
