A square ported box with a decent 15 or 18" driver would be the easiest thing to do.

Size would depned on how you want to use it.  For example what do you have to put on top of it-wedge or PA cab?  Is it to be sitting on the drum riser of off of it-if off How high is the riser? Is it to be behind or beside the drummer?  How loud do you want it to be?  How low do you want it to go?

Building a box is easy, building the RIGHT box, takes a lot more thought.

I will be putting a Yamaha SM15V on top of it. Most places that we play do not have drum risers, but what I would like to build should be able to accomadate riser or no riser. Most places we play the drum monitor will be to his left side. As for how loud and low, I am primarily just wanting to get some decent kick sound for the drummer.
