If you plan to resin the box, particle board will be just as good as MDF. I was just recently discussing this with a guy who tested identical spec boxes with MDF and particle board. The particle board gained far more from the resin than the MDF, but after the resin they were both the same.

Resin wouldn't be needed I'd tht box was built strong with to begin with.

And to take the logic a step further, why would you cheap out and buy particle board, only to buy fiberglass resin and coat the interior with a few coats? You could have bought MDF to begin with and had a much more dense enclosure that didn't need resin in the first plac. So any cost savings you had by purchasing particle board is wasted once you figure on cost of resin. And resin alone, doesn't add strength to an enclosure.

Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

MDF is an acoustically dead material, that is why you should you it.

Along with being easy to work with, and almost 100% material with no voids.

Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist?

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . .

What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself

but what has drawn your attention

in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums

An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space

Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears,

thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

I agree mdf ftw!

750??! Yeah, fuck that. Fuck this website, fuck SMD, fuck Steve, fuck all of his butt buddy mods, and their couches.

You'd be in the right ONLY if I didn't already have left over resin from a previous project, which I do. ;)

So do I. I've always got a partial gallon of resin and MEKP.

I can't wait to see the next box you build. You've come to a place with plenty of knowledge and help if you need it.
