Bracing Help Box Guide idea

[SlamminBeats]

is wood good for bracing inside a box? Ive seen ppl use those really long screws and those look alot more legit. Also how do you fiberglass the inside of a box to seal it up?

I think it would be a good idea to have a section pinned about what material is best for a box. For example, MDF or birch, and like what type of glue to use, and when you should use a thicker baffle. etc etc

i would rather use the long screws personally, you resin the entire inside and some people often like to add some glass to the corners and resin those, as for wood. i use MDF because thats what i like. some people like birch but at this point its personal prefrence. Loctite ||| IMO is the best wood glue along with nails works just fine and anytime you question your baffle ou should add more. never hurts

by really long screws do you mean all thread?

[pa-pa-platypus]

and yes adding too many screws/nails can be harmful.. after a certain point your compromising the integrity of the wood and making it weaker

in this video go to 2:15, those are the screws im thinking of. just two like he has too

[nbshazeezee]

yeah i Would use threaded rods to support it, and 3/4" MDF board. That is what works best for me.

hell i just used about 80oz of resin and 2 2x4's for my bracing, thing doesnt move a millimeter, single baffle too, although its way to small

[SlamminBeats]

thinking about doing .75 mdf, double baffle, resin on the inside, two rods for bracing top to bottom, possible one 2x4 left to right, subs up, port middle facing back, in my hatch. now for the tuning frequency... heheh
