sierra mist Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 I want to flush mount a pair of subs. Will that add more support or is it just for looks. I know making a double baffle would, but the subs wouldn't be flush mounted. Quote
sean 371 Posted March 31, 2007 Report Posted March 31, 2007 Both will add structural strength to it. Doubling should add a little more strength, but as long as the majority of the baffle is doubled, it's going to be a lot stronger.

Slinky Posted March 31, 2007 Report Posted March 31, 2007 flush mounting the subs doesnt add strength, its just for a clean look. the double baffle will add a lot of strength though.

sean 371 Posted March 31, 2007 Report Posted March 31, 2007 Reread steves build on his current box. He talks about flush mounting and strength.

Thats wrong, Flush mounting = double baffle which in turn is just as strong and cleaner than a double baffle.

Kicker Guy Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 flush mounting does add strength to the baffle, the only difference strength wise is the subs have less wood to be screwed/bolted into, but with the extra wood around it, it will not flex so its not a problem. Both virtually do the same thing except flush mounting looks a lot better.

Chris Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 (edited) BINGO. Also, if your sub can strip out 8 screws at a time from 3/4" MDF then you should be quad baffling that bitch! The ring where the woofer is mounted is the only point of "weakness", & I wouldn't even call it that.
