im thinking about getting a pioneer 10 inch sub and i have read about how premade boxes are bad. I was thinking of making a box (with alot of dad's help lol) or getting a build a box thing from walmart. Ive read many times that premade boxes are bad since each sub need its own uniqe amount of airspace and the recomended amount of the pioneer is 0.65 ~ 1.25 Cubic Feet and the build a box is .75 cubic feet. So does that mean the build a box would be ok or would i be better off building one?
here is the links two the box and the sub:

If you make a home made, you can also decide how big or small you want your box to be, not to mention the shape. If you push for the larger sized box, you will have deeper bass but less response on the high end and if you get a smaller box you will have better response in the higher end. Something in the middle is usually best, as in your case 1.00 cu ft.

I also recommend 3/4" MDF, screws (countersink them) and some sealant or silicone for all seams and screw holes. Internal bracing can help, but I don't think you would need this for one 10" unless you made a big box. Also, a layer of cotton batting inside the box (the stuff used to make quilts) can help to smooth out the bass response.
