Hello, I got a good deal on 2 Mach5 IXL-18 with a Behringer NX6000D amp and I am keen to build my first DIY sub box (I have moderate wood working ability, and live in Canada, so buying flat packs will not be a great option). But I am wondering what I should build. For background info: Use...

Hi, I have a small covid project going on. I’m making speaker boxes from some repurposed in wall micca speakers. I don’t want to do any soldering as I don’t want to put any more money in the project. I have a crossover that has integrated binding posts on the board. A solution I’ve come up with...
