loganberry Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 birch is stronger and lighter, but imo more of a pain to work with. i'll just deal with the dust from MDF for the ease of working with it. always has been easier and had a better result in my experience. tho i did stain the bottom piece in my old build which you could see through the port. it was HOT. i'm going to do some trim pieces or somethin with thinner birch and stain it so i can use MDF for everything else i like mdf more as whell, just dont like the weight birch weight>mdf weight My F-150 Build GET ON THE BANDWAGON what if they tried messing with the amps when the subs werent louder hahah jk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinT Posted July 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Sorry for not having nuts ripped off guys, but have a close encounter... As soon as I finished cutting the center circle of wood out the pin in the jasper jig did not come out of the wood circle...and the bit caught the edge of the wood... so the 15" circle blank was doing prolly 8000 rpm's attached to my router...It was funny and scary at first.
