Soccerballzs Posted August 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Have a lot of 2 inch thick maple laying in cabinet shop. I thank I am going to try the box out of maple first. If it sounds crappy I am going to use in Garage for sub box! Not sure about poplar very soft wood. Also have walnut and ash along with hickory and some purple heart. Been making boxes for 32 years now never tried hard maple butcher block. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/garage/vehicle/2438-jeep-commander/I Pioneer P99RSAmpere 38002-Ampere 125/44-6.5 inch Hertz HSK XL Mids4-8 inch JL Audio ZR Midwoofer 2-5.25 Satori Mids2-Morel Tweeters, 2 Hertz Milles 3 inch on A pillars2-Hertz Silk tweeters DC Audio Level 5/12 Skyhigh Wire Mechman 320 XS Power D3100MO Funniest Thread of the Year 2013: http://www.stevemead...dy-being-a-pos/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDrifter Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 But on the flipside: will the resonances be at any sort of worrying frequency? If it has some sort of funky harmonic at 300hz and you are crossed at 60hz. I'm not convinced it would cause any problem ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Hammer Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Gotta do some cool inlays, somehting small but sweet, maybe logo corresponding with amp or woofer choice out of purple heart mentioned above or another rare wood.

TheMonolith2001 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Why not try birch? That is what I used because a lot of home speakers/drums are made from it. (Good tonal properties) It's super stiff and heavy as hell. The stuff I got was furniture grade though so I couldn't bring myself to carpet it and I stained it, looks pretty nice. My box is 8 cubes and I think i spent like 100-150 on wood and had some left over I used for an amp rack. I am by no means a woodworker though, I just wanted to use something better than MDF.
