[GsEclipse02]

alright im really lazy and im thinking of letting lows/ hope depo cutting my wood for my box should i let them ? its free by the way ......... what do yall think thanks

[adero]

ya, why not? if they cut it wrong, they have to fix it.

[93ex]

I dont trust them, much less my measurements :lol:

If I fuck up a cut, I cut a new peice. If they fuck up a cut it will be "cut to my measurement" which will in turn be wrong

you are not asking the right question here. i will answer the question you SHOULD be asking. No, you should not get a box made of wood. you need an air tight seal if you dont' want your bass to sound like shit. you want to have minimal rattle, and you will need lots of insolation.

unless of course you are completely rice and don't care about quality.

fiberglass a custom trunk would be my suggestion. looks way better, and will sound clean.

and what makes you say that wood wont sound clean?

Youre telling me that the entire world of audio has it wrong. home audio, car audio... concert audio... all wrong for using wood?

Enclosure, if built propery, with identical specs, will sound identical, regardless of material.

My boxes are airtight, most every box if built right (ported nonwithstanding) will be air tight.

[TBSpyder]

I build all my boxes out of 1/2" thick industrial grade steel. There's really no other way. You damn ricers with your wood and shit.

does everyone use a crap load of wood glue on their boxes? cuz i glue every edge i screw into, and then every inside edge to make sure there are no leaks. Anyone know of something that will seal around where the wires come out easily?

[93ex]

a terminal cup.

Ive used just wood glue to make a box before. sometimes wood glue is stronger than screws.

My ported box has the smaller sides held in place with no screws, only super glue liberally.

[GsEclipse02]

so go to home depo and look around for some mdf wood all i could find was half an inch so i ask the guy were the 3/4's is and he is like its on the other side so i go over there its not there get pissd cuz i cant find it i go back and im like can you help me out some i cant seem to find it all i could find was partical bord that was 3/4's and he goes well thats all we have then .... its pretty close to the same wood that your loooking for i was like what a dumb fuck so i start looking up on the very top i find one that says mdf i was like hmm not sure how thick it is but it looks like 3/4s i go and tell a person to get it down for me and hes like i cant do it but i will radio for some 1 so he dose i wait 10 mins nuttun happens go and ask again he said there in the back and there comeing up hereso i wait for 10 more mins same shit 30 mins later they come up to the front and get my wood down for me i was pissd by the end of all this shit lessson dont go to hope depo on D/m

[TBSpyder]

I use a brad nailer, wood glue on the joints, and a silicone caulk on all inside edges.

[TIM TIM TIM]

we use wood glue for the cracks (and for the people that dont know, the glue is actually stronger then the wood 99% of the time) and then a staple gun. pretty much the staples are just there to help hold it while the glue drys, then we calk the hell out of the seems inside. the box came out pretty decent. ill take a pic tom. when we cut the wholes for the subs and stuff

[93ex]

once the glue seeps thru the pores, it will rip the wood before the glue breaks.

[TIM TIM TIM]

yep.. therefore the glue is stronger lol.. but yeah.. we were going to finish it today but for some odd reason i dont see that happening

[GsEclipse02]

maybe like around 8 or so they said like an hour ago that it should only be here for 8 hours....

[TIM TIM TIM]
