Hunters21w Posted September 16, 2009 Report Posted September 16, 2009 Rebuilding my box soon. Wanted to know some good sealing ideas. Also, would any bracing be needed?

ugpbmx Posted September 16, 2009 Report Posted September 16, 2009 use a wood glue like tight bond or gorilla glue when ur putting it together. then use fiberglass resin on all of the seams Quote MY TRUCK BUILD - 1976 F-100 Ranger.

ugpbmx Posted September 16, 2009 Report Posted September 16, 2009 and it all depends on what you are doing to decide if u need bracing. a lot of people use wooden dowels or all-thread Quote MY TRUCK BUILD - 1976 F-100 Ranger.

marquettefan247 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Posted September 16, 2009 use tightbond over gorilla glue.

Hunters21w Posted September 16, 2009 Author Report Posted September 16, 2009 Yea silicone was my first thought. Any specific order in which I should apply these?

ugpbmx Posted September 16, 2009 Report Posted September 16, 2009 well use the wood glue when ur putting it together then before you put the baffle on use the silicone and spread it on all of the seams to make it as air tight as possible. then the fiberglass resin over that.

Hunters21w Posted September 16, 2009 Author Report Posted September 16, 2009 Would it still be pretty airtight if I didn't use the fiberglass resin? or is it a must Quote 06 Police TahoeHU- Pioneer 80prsAmp- Crossfire 8kSub- 4 15" Crossfire xs v2sWire- 1/0 Knu/AudiotechnixAlt- 3 Mechman SMD 340sBatts- 6 XS Power 3100s, 2400
ugpbmx Posted September 16, 2009 Report Posted September 16, 2009 yea thats just an extra precaution you dont have to. just the better sealed the seams are the better off. but no u don't have to use the resin.

Hunters21w Posted September 16, 2009 Author Report Posted September 16, 2009 I've heard of people spraying something over the entire inside to help keep the mdf nice and strong. any ideas as to what it is and if it would be worth it? So just put some tightbond over the seams and let it dry. Before we put the top on, put some silicone over all the seams and such. What should be applied to the top? Same thing?
