The_end Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Are plywood and fiberglass the only options? Some people i talked to say plywood is bad to use because it vibrates a lot nd sounds bad, any other options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 (edited) I used Birch Plywood on my box and it is stronger and lighter than MDF, but more expensive...

Some people i talked to say plywood is bad to use because it vibrates a lot nd sounds bad, any other options? Your freins are correct lol. DO NOT use plywood, some good ol' MDF is all ya need.

andym85 Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 but liquid nails is just a surface adhesion with mdf. a good wood glue should penetrate the wood and chemically bond the pieces together, making it a much stronger joint then if you had used liquid nails...

FCsteve Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 i usually stick with mdf and titebond. use a clamp to hold it together while it dries and you'll be good. Quote 610EUROs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
