Anyone heard of or sucessfully built a sub enclosure using PVC pipe? The big stuff, like 10 or 12" DIA. thick wall. One of my major goals is for the enclosure to be very light weight.

Thoughts anyone?

Ive never heard of PVC as actually being used as the enclosure itself , only as port tubes but I dont see where it would hurt as long as the other end is sealed up tight. I wonder if maybe you could wrap the outside of the pipe with dynomat to maybe increase density of the pipe walls or reduce vibration. Who knows?

With appreciation to thepencil for that pic.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

That works great! The key is to use lots and lots of of liquid nails to seal off all the cracks. And you dont need all that duct tape, just put a screw them together from the inside to keep it from rolling around. PVC pipe for sub enclosure ? -- posted image.

Sub-in-a-pail, gotta love it. I saw subs in a enclosure made out of a tuperware container and a ceiling tile as the baffle. All hot glued together. Guy built the whole thing using a stake knife. It was a thing of beauty.
