corteznewbie Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) i seen peeps line the out side of their boxes in 2x4's to help with box flex. if it works does the whole box need to be covered or just a few key spots?

lem43606 Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 I used it on the outside of my wall. seems to help a good deal. its strong and doesnt add as much weight doubling up on mdf. you can add as much as you want to it will all help imo Quote 2 Fi BTL N2 18s Fully LoadedSundown Audio NS-1Kenwood 845 HU Clarion EQ4 Juicebox 3100sKnu Wire"Big 3"Mechman 270a156.3dBTeam GG.
n8ball2013 Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 do you have to cover the whole thing? no but 2x4s are cheap so why not.

Autruche Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 People mostly do that for their walls. It's like an external frame to the enclosure. If you can build the frame so that it has support in the middle of each large piece it can help drastically. If it is for a smaller, drop-in style box you'd probably be better off with internal bracing using dowel rods or 1/2-13 threaded rod. Quote Need Test Tones/Sine Waves?

corteznewbie Posted June 11, 2011 Author Report Posted June 11, 2011 reason i asked is my tfs's are broke in an the box is flexen pretty good on the low notes and dont have the time to tear the box down brace it and rebuild it, but if i can slap sum 2x4's to help stiffen then im gonna do it Quote Team DBs (Driven By sound)
SGTSKIP Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 Ive used it several times to reenforce the larger panels. Screw and glue the crap out of it. If your box it big go ahead and to top back and sides, if its smaller listen to it loud and feel the panels to see where it would do the best. Good luck Quote Does this smell funny to you? Its your sister
corteznewbie Posted June 11, 2011 Author Report Posted June 11, 2011 its 7.5 cubes inside after displacement so its a good size box. so i could cover the sides front and back, not sure how the top will be unless i can brace it a lil from the inside Quote Team DBs (Driven By sound)
lem43606 Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 here is how i braced inside of my box might be helpfull. Quote 2 Fi BTL N2 18s Fully LoadedSundown Audio NS-1Kenwood 845 HU Clarion EQ4 Juicebox 3100sKnu Wire"Big 3"Mechman 270a156.3dBTeam GG.
