Neal82 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 So, im building a 4th order box for my boat, just checked prices for treated wood and marine rated.... Treated for 3 sheets is like $90 for 3/4" and Marine is $140 for 3/4" question is, could i drop down to 5/8ths or even 1/2 to save some $$ ?? Box will also double as a seat, Subs a 15" 500RMS and im going to be hopefully pushing 400+ to them depending on what amp I end up going with.... opinions?

certifiednut Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 the only difference in treated and marine is that marine has no voids on the interior plies, and is way more expensive, but i cant really chime in on the thickness question these orphans aren't going to feast on themselves
runner800 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 i probably wouldn't go thinner than 3/4 but you can try, maybe if you brace the hell out of it...
