If you're looking for ways to improve your sound system, one of the easiest (and least expensive) ways is to build your own subwoofer. You can buy kits or start from scratch -- whatever works best for you.
Before I get into the 20 DIY subwoofer projects I have prepared, let me say this: most of these subwoofers are not for apartment living. Make sure you have a decent amount of room before you start building one of these.
Are you ready to build? Let’s begin
