I am going to build a bass tube out of 14" cardboard tubing and was curious if you knew where I could find any cardboard tubing. Also any suggestions would be appreciated.

You can get some tubing that they use to form concrete poles at Lowes or Homedepot....

I would sugest using PVC Pipe insted though...Its more resonate than the thick cardboard tubes...

I have to disagree. You do not want a speaker enclosure to be resonant (or to resonate.) You want a speaker enclosure to be acoustically dead. I've never made a subwoofer enclosure from PNC pipe so I can't speak to its effectiveness, but if it resonates you do not want to use it. I have used sonotubes (the heavy cardboard construction tubes you describe) and they work great.

I have used Thickwall PVC usually used for sewer pipe before to make my own Bazooka tube...Worked great...We sold quite a few...Loaded them with 10" MTX 8000 series and powered them with a memphis MC-500d....

Had great acoustical sound....

But maybe its just me..
