Making A Box

Recommended Posts

So Lowes is having a sale in my area and i noticed that 3/4 MDF 4x8 sheets are on sale for 32$ I was wondering, how many 4x8 sheets would i need to make a 4.0cf ported box After displacements. Any help is appreciated. Oh and theyre having a sale on 1/0 for 1.93$ a ft ;)

theres a possibillity you could make away with a single sheet but it would be close

i would count on using 2 sheets. 4 cubes is a decent sized box. treat your woofer to a nice, well built, double baffled, nicely braced box. and $32 a sheet doesnt sound like much of a sale anyway.

I would also be careful that 1/0 is not the thick strand house wire stuff like for 110/220. You dont want that.

I had a big ole box for my 15, and I could have gotten away with 1 sheet, but then I went with a slot port instead of aeros or PVC or something, so take port baffles into account too if necessary.
