Okay, so I have an extra set of SVS subwoofers sitting in a box. I also have extra amplifiers sitting on a table. Then the lightbulb goes on above my head and figured...why not build a subwoofer box to put these drivers in and run the extra amp and get the extra BOOOOOM that everyone loves to hear when the bombs go off in the movie?

But I know squat about how to build a subwoofer box. All I've seen in the stores are the ones that go in back of Honda Civics'.

Anybody have an idea or can point me in the right direction?
