REVOK1NER Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 (edited) What should I use to brace my box? Are there some things that work better then others? Let me know. Oh and I was also wondering what should the dimensions of my port be if my vehicle peaks at 46 hz? My box is around 12 cubic feet, one chamber, and I am doing subs up port near rear glass in the center of the box, and I just don't know how big to make it.

KWP369 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 you can get it at almost any hardware store, heres a pic to help u just drill a hole on both sides of ur box run the rod through on the inside of ur box ur goin to put a washer and nut on it then on the outside washer and nut and just tightin all four nuts and ur box will barely flex, i recommend puttin some resin on ur nut and washer on the inside just to seal it off Quote Do you read ur own response b4 you post?...or just type ur gut reaction and headbutt the enter key?

REVOK1NER Posted January 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Oh alright thank you, is it expensive because it looks like a really big bolt and I would need two that are around 40" long, any idea on price? Oh and any help on that port size anyone?

Charger Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I try not to use bracing. Just double, triple or even quadruple your wood thickness if you're after SPL. Sometimes internal bracing can hurt.

no0b4lif3 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 how would it hurt? you mean the air flow and all that jazz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charger Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Exactly right. Sometimes bracing will cause destructive turbulence. Well what I should say, all bracing adds turbulence but some may not be noticeable at all. Some might totally kill your airflow, eg. if you put a big 2x4 in front of your port it won't be doing any good.
