walwalka Posted April 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Its kind of all summed up, I'm just tired of using MDF and want to change it up a put. I'm not looking to save the weight I'm looking to offset it. I only need one sheet and don't care about the price. As I know where I'm at with my current weight and no body can sit in the back seat because we bottom out a lot. I don't want to add excess if I know I can offset it. 2010 Honda Civic LX / Deck: Kenwood DDX371 / Front Highs: Crescendo RTS-1 / Front Mids: Silver Flute 6.5's / 4 channel: DC Audio 90.4 / Sub: Fi 15in SP4v2 / Sub amp: Taramps HD 5000 / Power wire: Knukonceptz OFC 1/0 / Deadener: Audio Technix 60 mil / Batteries: XS Power D5100R / Rear bank: TBD / Alternator: Singer 240a hairpin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyBoy95 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 3/4 in Baltic birch is 75lbs per sheet in BB grade. 3/4in MDF is 96lbs, this is based on the research I did. I called a high end lumber yard about an hour from me and asked. yes, but you are only using a sheet, maybe sheet and a half. Real baltic 13ply brich is like 80 to 100 a sheet, MDF is 30 - 35.....

Amart88 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 I hope my wall inside my blazer doesnt get rained on.... lol... Haha. you know what I mean. Shit. MDF needs to have a top coat for added protection imo. You never know if you forget to close a window for a few hours or a seal goes in someones trunk.

Or woofers condensating lol MDF can take more moisture than people think. I have left boxes out in the rain a few times, takes a LOT more than you think to get them to show signs. People act as if you spit in the wrong direction your box will swell up and split.

walwalka Posted April 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 I don't care about price. I just don't want to go up any in weight, the plus its easier to work with IMO. My question is about the marine grade plywood. Is it good or no? 2010 Honda Civic LX / Deck: Kenwood DDX371 / Front Highs: Crescendo RTS-1 / Front Mids: Silver Flute 6.5's / 4 channel: DC Audio 90.4 / Sub: Fi 15in SP4v2 / Sub amp: Taramps HD 5000 / Power wire: Knukonceptz OFC 1/0 / Deadener: Audio Technix 60 mil / Batteries: XS Power D5100R / Rear bank: TBD / Alternator: Singer 240a hairpin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmed Johnson Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 MDF is dusty as shit, but the dust is so light the vacuum doesn't even have to be directly on it to clean it. I wouldn't let a mess keep me from using the MDF. The clean up is farely simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
