SEALED ENCLOSURE Building A Sealed Enclosure: Build a sealed box with specified dimensions of L x W x D per drawing. (See chart for suggested box sizes) Use 3/4” thick material (preferably medium density fiber board or equivalent) for box construction. Be sure to use wood glue and silicone to ensure your enclosure is sealed properly, as air leaks will affect the performance of a subwoofer.
