Finally got around to finishing my WO from like a year + ago when I was planning on building it.     Here are the issues I have-  It's not perfect,  the basic outer structure is great, but the inside didn't happen the way i wanted so i had to fill in a lot of imperfections with silicone.       I put 2 cheapie pioneer subs in it, and it doesn't seem to produce the bass i'd expect without bottoming out the subs.  

At low volumes it will produce a scary 40hz (or so) which seems like it would carry well if I turned it up, but when I do it just bottoms out and I lose it.


Is this a product of the cheap woofers?   Or a product of my crappy construction.   Its air tight, but not perfectly symmetrical (its within a 1/2", but who knows from looking).    If its the first one, then I'll get better subs, if its the second then I'll sledge hammer it and start over.

if the box is not COMPLETELY SEALED it can sound like that.
