Knock-Down MDF 3 ft³ Subwoofer Cabinet for Dayton Audio Ultimax II 15"Even the easiest do-it-yourself subwoofer can turn into an arduous project; from uneven cuts, to measuring mistakes. CNC knock-down cabinets make it easy for the beginner to end up with amazing finished results without all of the time and effort necessary to perfect your woodworking skills. This cabinet is designed for speaker builders and designers who don't have access to expensive tools or a woodshop.
This particular cabinet is designed specifically for the Dayton Audio 15" Ultimax II subwoofer, but works for any subwoofer with an overall diameter of 15-5/16" or less, and a cutout requirement of 13-7/8" or less. When combined with the Ultimax II 15" subwoofer, this system will have a Qtc of 0.83 with an F3 of 36 Hz. Add 3 pounds of Acousta-Stuff to get the Qts down to 0.7.
During the CNC manufacturing process, rabbets dadoes are cut into the back and side panels ensuring precise alignment. A unique interlocking two-piece brace adds superior rigidity without affecting the subwoofer's performance. In addition, the initial baffle includes rabbets and dadoes ensuring perfect installation of the first part of the two-part, double thick baffle. Plate amplifier installation is made easy by following the scribed interior guide with a jig saw (scribed amplifier cutout is for the Dayton Audio SPA1000 or SPA500).
The end result is a resonance-free, compact sealed subwoofer cabinet that is purpose-built to extract the best performance from Dayton Audio's 15" Ultimax II subwoofer. All that's left to do is finish it to match your décor or paint it to stand out. When your friends ask about it, you get the pleasure of saying, "I built it myself!"
