Post Number: 9927 Registered: Jul-05 | Nope ! ^^^ u have 2 account 4 thickness of the wood so if u want 12" then its got 2 be 13.5" since 3/4" mdf is used another note - i read a loooong time ago u should NEVER build a box with 2 equal sides (something called "standing waves") ex : do Not use say 20 x 15 x 15 use maybe 20 x 14 x 16 http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/boxcalcs.asp ..... |

Post Number: 9930 Registered: Jul-05 | usually when i build boxes i try 2 design it so that 1 side is @ least a whole inch in width difference than the adjoining side well in some cases u cant help but having 2 sides almost = but i try to get @ least 1 side 1/4" different 4 this reason ...... |
