Do you have to do a double baffle?

I'm gonna be doing 2 15" DC XL's on 4-5k and I was wondering could I just do a bunch of bracing like 2x4's instead of doing a double baffle? I'm using 3/4" MDF

I'd do both. Those are some heavy, powerful subs and you don't want the top flexing. You don't necessarily NEED the second baffle, but why not add it? It is easy and doesn't take up that much space

My box for 1 18" XL was not doubled with three dowels inside, and now I'm going to be using a double baffle and 1 2x4 inside the box for 2 18" XL's.

Better off doubling it IMO.

Is a double baffle strong, yes. is it necessary, no. But with a double baffle you make better use of the bracing you have without having to go crazy with extra bracing. Now for the comment about screws ripping out, that happens with double baffles to. Change your screws and it wouldnt happen, or it wouldnt happen as easy. I use to have the same problem. Now about the comment about counter sinking. You have just contradicted all the statements in this post. You may have a double baffle, but your still mounting in 3/4. SO basiclly its up to you if you want the double baffle or not. Its really a box by box basis. some benefit from it. some dont.

But in your case, the double baffle would help due to the shear size and weight of the subs. But if you don't want a double baffle then do some killer bracing and get creative with some internal supports to help hold the subs.

I don't understand why countersinking a sub would diminish the effect of double baffling.
