subwoofers are put in boxes for a reason, it echos the sound and just makes it sound better.
That's all I'll say

Use a really thick wood, make sure it's nailed down(no vibration). Damping increases subwoofer efficiency by dissipating some energy that affects the sub, particularly the voice coil. It is advisable to put damping material inside a box. Pillow polyfill and fiberglass insulation are common, though polyfill is a lot easier on your skin. Polyfill also "tricks" a sub into thinking it is in a bigger box. Play around with different amounts of polyfill until you get the desired results.
it's to do with how much air the speaker needs, as it moves in/out, if too much air the speaker trys to move "too far out", if not enough air it'll sound shit also.
