pear_b Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 I just finished my first box, cut the holes for the 2 12's and ive noticed that in the process, the wood has created a few partial cracks on the subwoofer cutout, how could i fix this? should I add another layer by gluing and screwing in some screws to secure it and just have a double layer of 3/4" mdf? let me know thanks Team PSI Team Shock Industries Team XS Power Vertex Audio Sundown Audio Knukonceptz
tehbert0 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 how did you cut it out? http://motorcitydesignsaudio.com
pear_b Posted August 31, 2009 Author Report Posted August 31, 2009 it looks okay, but i just want to make it extra supportive, so could i just blue and screw in another layer and have a total thickness of 1.5" of mdf, would it change the tuning of the box alot?

z71kris Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 thats a good question, I have different reason for adding a second sheet, but would it change the tuning of the box? 03 GMC Sierra Z71 Ext Cab l 2 15" American Bass XO's l 1 Lanzar HTG2600 l AudioVox 1510D In dash DVD l KnuKonceptz Wiring l Big Three Done with KnuKonceptz KLMX 1/0 l Infinity Reference 6022si 6-1/2" Front Door Speakers l Upgraded to 145A Alt from 105A Alt l Custom Box 2^3 under the rear bench with resined bottom, and about 4 lbs of polyfill
keepinitloud Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 how about some picture of what your seeing and I dont think gluing on another layer on the baffle will affect it your not changing the inside dimensions and the subs are not going to be raised up to much to affect it 06 chrysler 300C Hemi one mmatts dreadnaut 15 powered by a planet audio vx 2200d fosgate p200 running planet audio 8" midbass drivers and super compression tweeters stock battery and a stinger spv44 Irragi 300 amp alternator big 3 1/0 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/55075-system-in-my-300c/page__view__findpost__p__763656__fromsearch__1
z71kris Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 I have been toying with the idea to gain a couple ^inches..is it not worth it, I am short on airspace as it is in my box...sorry for a TJ but its to similar to start a new thread over... to OP, I would some pics to see how bad the cracks are...but you may need to redo the top panel, or you can to use glue or something to help keep together... 03 GMC Sierra Z71 Ext Cab l 2 15" American Bass XO's l 1 Lanzar HTG2600 l AudioVox 1510D In dash DVD l KnuKonceptz Wiring l Big Three Done with KnuKonceptz KLMX 1/0 l Infinity Reference 6022si 6-1/2" Front Door Speakers l Upgraded to 145A Alt from 105A Alt l Custom Box 2^3 under the rear bench with resined bottom, and about 4 lbs of polyfill
pear_b Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Posted September 1, 2009 the cracks are minor, after i sanded it its very hard to see them, but down the road i want to be safe ans sound and 2 layers I think would do that?

pear_b Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Posted September 1, 2009 my cam is in toronto, cell phone pics wont do it. im just wondering if adding a second layer would do any harm? and the tuning I know it will affect it but alot or no?
