Sealing a box

Just going to build a new box, My first one (now) is tuned low, with a 2200d in an ext cab, hitting around 139db... no good. Expecially for having 2 yellow's big 3, multi runs, great voltage, but low numbers.

right now its

Sub (port) Sub.

So my idea is: Sub Sub (drivers side port 3x wider than my port at about 5 inches wide).

It will be a basic L port, nothing fancy, but i was just wondering, for sealing up the 90 degree creases whats the best? add 45's and fiberglass then sand? or should i use something else (and) 45 and fiberglass the whole box? just wondering.

And my last problem with my box, is i only have a single 3/4 mdf plate, and does she ever flex at 30hz so i know im going with a 1.5" baffle now.

Thanks

I might just use wood glue until its fully hard, then 45 and glass the whole inside of the box and sand it all smooth, All i know is i need to get rid of this box flex and port issues. New box! :D

If you have the extra loot switch the MDF for and good sheet of quality hard ply. Oak or Parallam. Internal bracing is always a plus when trying to increase your SPL also.

What do you have for sound deadening ?

be careful. in some places 45s will lower your score. you can also cut pvc and glass/glue/screw that in too and it works well.

Well I guess punching a woman is a good way to test your strength! You never know how strong you are until you cold-cock a woman in the head and break that bitches jaw.

Next time she tries to punch you in the stomach, whip your wiener out and chase her around. Show her who's boss.

dowels or all thread in big sides, most people do 45s or resin to do the edges (tip the box to the side and let the resin harden into a 45.)
