skittlesRgood Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 depends on the plywood. there is very low quality ply and very high quality ply. birch ply is pretty popular. just make sure it has a lot of layers. I use birch for the weight reduction myself. the down side is that it splinters on the edges. If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

WillPwn4Food Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 If weight is an issue, go with Birch Ply.

pantantler Posted March 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 ya looks like the only thing my local lumber yard has is 1" fir 8 layers.. they said its stronger than birch.. but i can get various 3/4 cuts. wondering is that would still be ok with bracing and fiberglass my situation is not cheaping out.. I,m just limited in location anyone use fir b4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mothra Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 i'm an mdf guy simply bc i know its pretty consistent no matter where you get it from and its an acoustically dead material and flex over large sections is the only real hurdle. plus its the cheaper of most of the materials used. birch usually splinters bc the blade has less than an 80 tooth count or its not sharp. alot complain about the dust mdf causes, i have minimal dust and i cut in my garage with no dust collector system. dust can be lowered by height of blade and speed of cut if nothing changes, nothing changes You don't know what you don't know, till you don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shogen Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 just thought I'd ask here if that's okay..... If I was to NOT double baffle a 15" Xcon and instead use wooden dowels to brace the front baffle to the rear wall would that be sufficient ???

michigancapri92 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 what everyone else said ... everything is pro and con ... mdf is easy to work with able to make smooth edges ect. but you have to pre drill birch sander ply is lighter stronger (IMO) and you dont have to predrill but the edges require sanding after cutting you can also use oak sander ply (IMO) Teamcapri.comThe TeamCapri 1992 Mercury Capri XR22012 FORD EDGE SQ BUILDOld build logMy FeedBack1992 Mercury capri XR2 Hyper LED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
