David Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 makes the box stronger :duh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscoe1129 Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 makes the box stronger :duh: Its also easier to smooth the outside of the box if you line the inside instead of the out;) Some people need a sympathetic pat... on the head...with my hammer Scientia est Vox "In Nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti" DONT BE AFRAID TO USE THE SEARCH BUTTON!!!

sean 371 Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Its also easier to smooth the outside of the box if you line the inside instead of the out;) I think he meant on an MDF box, not a full on fiberglass one. And yea, stronger. A couple links to some box builds: Tahoe Box 1, Tahoe Box 2, Nissan Titan, VW GTI, Mini-Bump, Hummer H2, Ford F-150 My own car builds (current setup --- under construction): Overall Thread, Kickpods, Dash, Back Doors Subwoofer Wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineGuy87 Posted March 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 yea, i was refering to MDF box, i mean... i figured it would make it stronger, thats the obvious one, but i didnt know if it had anything to do with SQ or anything.. 06 SCION tC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 it will change the tune alil bit because of the resin is harder then the mdf the sound bounces off of it more. if you glass the inside of a mdf box its all about strength, or helping airflow like meades resin trick.

hammerdown Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 just as David, Sean stated it does strenghtens the box it also provides a better seal and the smoother the resin is the better the redirect of the sound off the walls will be = higher DBs. I'm currently working on an enclosure that will have a half circle shape on the inside my attempt is to redirect the sound waves to the port with a limited amount of DB lose. fingers crossed.
