Distortion is the sub killer Low power and low volume will not hurt a sub – but distortion will. A clipped signal is a sub’s worst enemy. It isn’t loudness that destroys an under-powered sub, it’s trying to get bass volume by turning up a distorting signal that does it.

How big do you need to build a subwoofer?
Plywood is very sturdy and holds up well the air pressure produced by the large speaker cones. You need enough wood to make both the box and the bracing structure. Each wall should be braced to handle all the bass. You should try to make the box as big as you can. We built ours to be 30″ x 30″ x 70″ It should NOT be square.

Once the cone works, then solder together the thick gauge audio cable, connect it from the speaker to a 2 channel Speakon wall-mount connector which we will insert into the wall of the speaker. This will enable you to unplug your speaker but also insert it into a larger live sound system.
