honda Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 MDF is too damn heavy man. What are some alternate materials that would be good for building a box?

Chris Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Birch is a lil lighter & actually a lil stronger, it's just more expensive. There's always fiberglass I guess.

avs20 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Yep birch is a tad lighter, but yep more expensive. Birch is MUCH lighter. I built my wall out of birch, and probably wont ever build another box out mdf. The weight savings is huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingsuv Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 I'll never build large boxes out of MDF again. Birch is the only thing I use these days.

I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
