afrakes Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Planning on using birch to make my box to cut down on some weight. I'm assuming everybody uses birch plywood or is there a birch fiberboard available out there? on another note, where do you buy your plexiglass at? My local home depot doesn't carry it lol. and what are some good ideas for reinforcement inside the box besides 45's and fiberglass? Looking for something that is strong but won't cause too much displacement inside my box. edit: forgot to ask where to buy led strings like what big Steve just used on his plexi for the Polaris??

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.
bbeljefe Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Check with your local automotive paint stores for fiberglass supplies. I buy layup resin in 5 gallon buckets and MEKP in gallons at Paul Lashley Supply. It's a lot less expensive than Bondo resin at Lowe's or Home Depot. Lights... Amazon. Braces... allthread or small wave guides (depending on location in the box) and there's no real substitute for strengthening corners with chop mat and resin.

afrakes Posted June 30, 2014 Author Report Posted June 30, 2014 So I been trying to find 13 ply Baltic birch all morning now and all my local lumberyards discontinued the product, most for many years now. They can all special order it for a not so special price and a 4-6 week wait. Any other options I should consider that will cut down on weight as compared to mdf and not break the bank so bad? I'm ok spending up to $70-$80/sheet, but $110 for special order Baltic birch, no thanks.

gckless Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 For plexi, estreetplastics.com for sure. I got a 9"x18"x.75" piece for $20. They have a bunch of sizes too. Bracing, can do wooden dowels, allthread, window braces, triangle pieces with holes cut in them, there's a bunch of stuff. For lights, any 12V lights. There are literally thousands on eBay and Amazon. "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now. It's like witchcraft... it automatically explains just about everything people don't understand.
