Jacob Toivonen Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Ive posted on this board multiple times to figure out things about my subwoofer. I have the box design, the procedure we need to make it, all the equipment to make it, and the time to do so. So i have one last question. Where can i buy proper wood? My last box i went to menards and asked them for mdf and they pointed me to ocb. I still dont know what ocb is but the box rattles hard as fuck so i need to get some proper wood for this. If its worth it, i would also consider ordering wood online and having it shipped to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That baltic birch is not easy to find in AZ, a couple places carry it but MDF is much easier to find. Birch is very nice to work with, Not as messy as MDF. 2011 Mitsubishi OutlanderSony 712 Soundqubed HDS208 Alpine MRV-M500 Transmission line enclosure Soundqubed wiring Knu rca XS Power battery CNF terminals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triticum Agricolam Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 I build boxes out of Arauco plywood, which I find superior to MDF (though MDF is fine too). In some areas you can get it at Home Depot or Lowes. I have to get mine through a specialty plywood supplier.
