David Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 steel rods takes up less air space, and causes less turbulance. I agree but if you cut the 2x4's down to 2x2's and then use your router to round the edges and your fine with turbulence ( they become pretty much round) and a 16" 2x2 rounded takes up very little air space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01xtreme Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 All-thread has worked well for me. however I never tried 2x4's. if you have some laying around I would throw them in there.

Chris Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 what about wooden dowels? if you get a large enough diameter do you think it would be as strong as a rounded off 2x2 yet require less time & effort? 4 15" FI Q D2's in 12 cubes tuned to 32hz 1- T1000.1bd's 3 Maxx 29 deep cycles 4 runs of 1/0 gauge -Big 3 -Trunk sealed off from the cabin Custom 15.8 dual-volt switching MLA module All in a CAR.

Ernesto Posted February 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Let me see if I can get the box into the expedition today and take a picture of it when I go to my friend's house... The box is heavy as shit already... With the floor, back wall, and sides on it's already heavy as fuck! Can't imagine how heavy it's gonna be when it's done...I'm going to see if I finish the box up tomorrow...then get started on the bracing and lots of fiberglassing.

Derrick824 Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 I prefer 2x2 spindles for bracing. They add just as much reinforcement as a 2x4 with half the displacement and they're already rounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
