Alex K Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 you can pretty much use whatever you want... Just some woods require more bracing and prep than MDF or birch.. You can try particle board, just brace and maybe double it up. Or ply-wood, same thing. Quote 2006 Nissan Z Track.

You need to use fiberglass to make it stronger. Quote under construction I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me. u hate c-fizzy?

mbdblue Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 stop bein a f'n smart ass if ya can't answer with a legit answer dont post wow, catch more flies with honey man.... pretty sure you would end up droppin alot more cash than you would want to on anything else. and the resin won't do shit for you if you dont brace the box first...unless you plan on adding layers....which then brings you back to my whole "cost" point Quote AA-Atomic-Clif Designs-DC-Diamond-Digital Designs-Directed-Eclipse-Fi-Hertz-Hifonics-Kenwood-Memphis-Phoenix Gold-Pioneer-PPI-PSi-Stinger-Sundown-TC Sounds-Viper-Zapco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corteznewbie Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 my step dad said sumthen bout cabinet grade ac ply. 3/4" i dont mind bracing just dont want a weak wood Quote Team DBs (Driven By sound) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corteznewbie Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 the resin is to make sure the box is sealed good. and i will be bracing the inside. i read some where some woods are porous and can leak air threw the layers thats where the resin comes in Quote Team DBs (Driven By sound) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
