Whats next!

I was simply wondering what is some of the different types of Building Material are the best? I know the word best is subjective, but in this scenerio, weight is not an issue. Of course, I could simply double up on 3/4 MDF, and do some well bracing, I'm aware of that. But I'm also aware that, the material your using can greatly alter the output. Thats the main reason extreme vehicles use concrete. I am not willing to use concrete. I know I said weight is not an issue, but thats a bit much, plus would put me into the extreme class. The reason I'm asking, is because this will be my burp enclosure. I've heard of some competitors using marble, and other hard/rock like material, this is something I am not willing to use. Theres a buddy of mine that owns a wood distrubiting company, so I can get access to any type of wood for if not free, dirt cheap. He informed me of one material, I believe it was Aztek, or something of that nature. A hard like PVC industrial material that is extremely dense. Another material I have my eye on is 9ply oak. He informed me that it can stop a .45 bullet, I believe. Also Russian Baltic Birch. I'm not exactly what it is when it comes to building material that influences the output, maybe the density and other factors. I can also get this materials at most common thickness. IE, if I wanted to double up on two 3/4 MDF, he can simply get me 1.5". Many thanks in advance.

your 5 hours away There are always events here though, for MECA. Go check out the calender for up coming events and plan a road trip lol

Zcon and a couple of bc5500s here in nashville for ya Also got some Sp4's here for you to take a gander at as well

When reading Shizzon's post, you must really know who he is to get some of his humor

That last one looks creepy O.o lol

Looking good!

interesting, that extra db is what I'm aiming for. I'll be burping 5k, then if goes well, 10k. I just didn't think it would be a good idea to go with a larger enclosure on said power.

Go bobcats!!??

cheese and rice man!

flat between 42-47, further testing with a sealed enclosure is needed to define a more definite answer. This enclosure is designed for burping. High power will be utilized in short burst. Is the reasoning for the size.

(in terms of enclosure strength)

That setup looks nice!

MDF inside layer, void free plywood outside? How do I go about changing up the seams between layers? Weight can be an issue, but I'm avoiding concrete, marble, and any other heavy material such as said examples. How should I attack the corner joints? As far as offering the most effecting way to smooth the transition from wall to wall air flow. This enclosure I will be using this material if for a smaller enclosure, 2.75 cuft for a single 15" zcon, so I'm not sure what is the best method to brace in such a small area. I will also be utilizing a flared aero port, such as you used.

I like the bracing sir. I had success when I did the same method.

port looks tiny
