Should i bother doing a double baffle?

[Solid_State13 1]

ok, so im about to start a T-line enclosure for a single 10" and im wondering if i should bother doing a double baffle, or even just double thick mounting plate. the line is only 5 inches wide and 11" tall, so its naturally pretty well braced, and it will probably only be seeing somewhere between 250 and 400 watts. so will a double baffle really help? if not, do you think that i should use a mounting plate to give the screws more wood to bite into?

thanks for any input

its never a bad idea but u really dont need either in ur case

not necessary.

You could even get away with 0.5" Birch or MDF and simple bracing.

1/2" birch would be delish and there would be no need for an air freshener in ur car

unfortunately for my air, i have a trunk.... maybe i could hang a piece of scrap from my rearview....

really, u think 1/2" birch would be fine? ive always just used 3/4 mdf, but i'm assuming that 1/2" birch would make it a hell of a lot lighter, which would be great. is it much more expensive? cuz i'm gonna need a whole 4'x8' sheet for this enclosure

would 1/2" be deep enough for the screws to hold the woofer in?

Edit: the only bracing i have planned is 45's in the corners, but the line has 4 folds in it, so the longest stretches are maybe 30"

a whole sheet?

What is ur box dimensions

yup, its 23.75" x 34" x 12.5", but its a T-Line tuned to 25Hz, so its a 135" line folded into a box shape = lots of wood on the inside of the box
