Anyone done this or looked in to it? I know the downsides in terms of being left with something with little residual value and not saving much money over buying something off the shelf. Still keen to explore it though as would really enjoy the planning and crafting aspect associated with it, with the end result being less important. I have seen a few guides which are USA centric, really looking for components that can be obtained easily in the UK to spec something out.
 
In theory, yes it is simpler to design an infinite baffle sub vs a vented one. It does still require choosing an appropriate driver with thiele small parameters that suit sealed enclosures and the enclosure still needs to be of an appropriate volume too.

I'm confused.... A sealed sub is very different from an infinite baffle sub is it not??? My understanding is that a sealed sub is a contained box while an infinite baffle sub you essentially use the cavities within your building act as the subwoofer enclosure???
