BigPimpin91 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 OK, so hopefully My mom will take me to HomeDepot today seeing as how she got her taxes back. I was going to pick up a sheet of 3/4" MDF, a box of screws (What kind do you guys use?), and a tube of Liquid Nails. Should I build the box amatt85 designed for me. Or build a Transmission Line I designed? Opinions? Quote BigPimpin91's Banging Music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REVOK1NER Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 It is really your call. Are you confident that you can build a decent T-Line? If so, will it sound good? If you answered yes then go for it haha. If not, build the box AMatt85 gave you plans for and try a T-Line later on. Or you can try the T-Line and if your not happy, start over, if you have the time that is.

BigPimpin91 Posted February 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 So go for the T-Line but don't glue it until I hear how it sounds? If I don't like it, Take it apart and try to piece together the ported box then? Quote BigPimpin91's Banging Music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym85 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 build whatever u want....but scrap the liquid nails and get some wood glue (titebond)...it will be a lot stronger that way. and i usually just usle like 1 5/8" drywall screws... give the t-line a shot...i think it would be fun to build one..

REVOK1NER Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Well yah go for the T-Line and if you don't like it, build a new one. I built a box and rolled with it for a week, didn't like it an built a new one. It is all about build and rebuild until your happy.

dwright27 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 since it will be your first box i say do the regular ported one. then try a t-line. ALSO dont screw anything into the MDF unless you predrill the holes. your wood will split and crack if you dont. i use brad nails now and well, they are working just fine, brad nails with titebond 2 or 3 and silicone on the inside to make sure that bish is sealed. i hear brad staples work best though.

BigPimpin91 Posted February 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Titebond. (What series/line/ flavor?)* 1 5/8" Drywall screws. A drillbit. And about 1 1/2 hrs. 50/50 between the two boxes still. * Liquid Nails has Extra Strength, Normals Stregth, ETC.

Aaron813 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 I have to agree with dwright build a regular box first then build a tline and titebond 3 wood glue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And about 1 1/2 hrs. 50/50 between the two boxes still. * Liquid Nails has Extra Strength, Normals Stregth, ETC. titebond 3 ftw, 1 3/4 screws for a lil extra bite, a pilot hole bit (slightly smaller than screw diameter for a tight fight, and maybe counter sink the holes and flush it all up a lil) oh and prolly gonna take more than an hour and a half too.
