slugdub Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Just wondering. Seems like people here would not approve of this as a material. Its what i've used in the past and it would mean starting from scratch to use another material (and gaining access to a woodshop, which isn't the end of the world.. but..)

I guess I didn't try google I'm not bashing you, it's just like you never do research. You can buy plywood that will work, but you would be better off just using MDF or possibly oak, birch also as Eric said. I have no experience with plywood but it's generally pretty weak. It's up to you you aren't running much power so use whatever you want.

Though Plywood doesn't hold up as well generally, to the poundings of bass as MDF. It just depends on what you get, Plywood wise.

slugdub Posted March 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Well I have a plywood box that someone else made. It seems to only require a few adjustements for my new speakers. I just had envisioned new ports, resealing them good, mounting new speakers, double checking the math and I'd be on my way. Now I'm wondering if its not going to be that simple. I read the 12 volt.com guide, its long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zade08 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Iv sean people use plywood and 2x4 bracing on walls. But they always seem to glass the inside of it just to make sure that it stays strong and air tight. Now weather its birch or not I dont know.
