CleanSierra Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Plywood is not to be used for enclosures. It's not stiff enough to hold up to the pressure of a speaker cabinet. MDF or birch are your options for tonality and strength. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

Rich Schenk Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 mdf is the cheaper of the 2. birch is the best though On 3/28/2014 at 4:22 PM, KyLar96 said: Its all about the music anyway.....

Amart88 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 They are both good and have both been proven effective. GOOD Birch Plywood is usully more expensive than mdf and maybe a bit lighter. It's less messy to cut but It's harder to sand and paint. It is also a bit stonger than mdf. MDF is heavy, inexpensive, messy to cut, easy to sand and paint. It works. It really comes down to cost IMO. My 2005 s10 blazer build. 4 zcon 18's walled.

Amart88 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 i heard that birch has better acoustics Is this true? It all depends on the enclosure. My 2005 s10 blazer build. 4 zcon 18's walled.
dylan117 Posted February 20, 2014 Author Report Posted February 20, 2014 in my case im going to be running an XL 18" in that box, its tuned really low at 23hz and ive already got an MDF box for it but had a spare 4x8 of Plywood/birch laying around and it looked decent and well here we are
ric006 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 and if you go to your local wood place not your home depot you can get different densities of MDF to be lighter or heavier
