SlamminBeats Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pa-pa-platypus Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 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 This isn't teeball.

Freshman6969 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 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 Legal TL scores145.6 on the dash sealed up in the low 40hz area with the port out145.5 on the dash sealed up @30hz with the port inless then 1k clamped on a 3.5k! Why would you EVER WANT flex?huh?...flex is what can make the lows lower and more air being pushed correct?
