LOL, do you guys know how much 1" MDF actually weigh's? Hint - 12" x 12" x 1" MDF = 4lbs or .44 oz per sq.in.

So, that would mean a 12" x 12" x 1 1/4" MDF = 5lbs. or .55 oz. per sq.in.

Either way, your talkin one heavy azz sub box.

Drivin,

To my knowledge, the bracing does not causes any issue's in forms of turbulance, port noise or anything else.

If it did, I'm sure more than a few customers would have already expressed there displeasure about there use.

Bass asked me the same question in another thread of the type of bracing I use and I gave him the same answer with an explanation as such.

My box is 2 inches thick : / and it's pretty much impossible for any "average joe" to move.So if you're not strong as hell you aren't moving it lol.It took two guys just to lift the box into my van.I don't know where I'm going with this but my box doesn't flex I guess?It would be pretty hard to steal too.

2" thick!!!! jesus.

I've built enclosure's for customers in the past that want the entire enclosure 1" MDF and even that is to the extreme, but 2", why not just make plywood forms and pour in some 5000 psi ready mix concrete to make an enclosure.

I would be heavy as he!! and it wouldn't flex and weight just about as much.
