    +1 on that zingo. For some strange reason, I have to keep reading about "cardboard" subwoofer boxes. This is just too much! You have to poke fun.

    nme medic, thanks for the laugh!

    I keep shaking my head in disbelief!WTF? These guys should be chasing a hottie in a skirt rather than messing with a cardboard sub box. You can't help but laugh at them. Oh well!

    Though cardboard does make a mighty fine sub box, be sure it is corragated cardboard. Use 5 to 6 toilet paper tubes for the airhole, pack one of the toilet paper tubes with tampex fluf. (Stops most of the booming, but once a month the sub becomes a bit moody. Midol sprinkled over the sub's cone dust cover helps this moody blues condition. Sit back and enjoy the chuffing coming out of that dar airhole thing.

    Do I need an airhole in my sub box so it doesn't over-heat or anything?

    Everyone should have an airhole.

    So did we definitively determine if T_Unit should have an airhole for his sub and, if so, what size it should be ?

    I have a bud, who's dog will absolutely flip out when his airhole accidentally goes off. He'll jump up from a dead sleep, whip around and sniff that airhole like it had just malfunctioned.

    Air holes.
    So important for pressure equalization.

    OK, now before you start on me -- everybody knows that insects have spiracles.
    If Betty'd had an air hole, she'd probably have been OK.
