gbsx Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Would the sound or the output of my box change if I put a second sheet of 3/4" MDF on the back of my box to make a amp rack sort of thing. Has anyone ever done this? I don't really wanna glue it and screw it down on the back before I know.

devil4u2c Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 it shouldnt hurt anything, it will just make that back wall thicker and stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbsx Posted May 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Okay so the sound or anything won't change? Will it be louder if I set it in the trunk with the sub & port forward?

devil4u2c Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 That depends on the car from what I understand, but the wood shouldn't change the sound at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HHR Ed Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 just an FYI, "Baffle" refers to the face of the box in which the woofers mount. anyway, adding another layer to the back would strengthen the box even more. This is a very good thing.

Alex K Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Youre good; I triple baffled my box for a fi btl 15. And it threw the tuning off by about .4 or so, from 33.01 to 33.41 . I wouldn't worry too much about it. Quote 2006 Nissan Z Track. My Feedback Thread i used to think a band pass was something you were around your neck or something.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. if you triple baffled it, the sub should be less into the box, increasing the box volume, therefore lowering the tuning.. unless i'm reading that wrong...

Alex K Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 baffle was flush with the original shape and dimensions of the box. the baffles took up .4 cubic feet of displacement, so it made the tuning go up Quote 2006 Nissan Z Track.
