OH... MY... GOD... I remember my very first subwoofer.. I bought it when I was 16. It was a radio shack brand optimus 10" 120 watt rms sub.. very boomy and very crappy now but at the time i thought I was in bass bliss. fast forward to 2004 and I am almost 23 and finally upgrading...
I just finished building my 214l adite tempest sub and this monster is massive.. now the designs from the website call for a downfiring box but i was wondering does it really affect performance at all to just simply lay it on its side and point the sub and ports towards a wall? does...

quick question... do the peices of mdf have to have perfectly smooth straight edges to form an airtight seal between each other with the help of liquid nails and silicone caulking... i have a side piece that is short near a corner by 1/16 on the ruler and when i press it against another...
I am getting conflicts of screw here ... i just came from ace hardware with a bag of the #7 1 1/2" wood screws and now i read this ... btw thanks for all the info guys i learned from everything ya'll typed. i REALLY am feeling my way through the dark on this..
