Wasteland_Audio Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Idk about that, i foresee loading issues of your passenger side sub with that design. That's what I was worried about Yea just because that is a large, flat surface that close to the cone. have you considered using 1/2 inch all thread for bracing?

It's just as strong as wood bracing and takes up a lot less volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a point, maybe cut a hole in the plastic and carpet where the nuts would sit? After you cut the excess off they should only stick out 3/8" or so.

What if I just do top and bottom as the bar and leave the front to back as the wood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasteland_Audio Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 I would put the rod straight through the bracing as well to keep them from wanting to move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
