the4stringking Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Birch is great for a sub box. Way stronger than mdf and a lot lighter too. Bass response isn't much better than mdf but imo it sounds better.

deernet Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 what is mdf going for where everyone is? for me its $27.37 for 4x8 sheet I'm in Morristown, TN (near Knoxville) and I just paid $34 a sheet from Lowes. I wish I could have got it for $27, would have saved me like $21 on 3 sheets.

7jezuz7 Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 So it's ok to use birch for sub boxes? I can get me some 4x8 for about $10 and if it's good then I plan on getting me a couple of sheets to play around and experiment with for boxes.
