Post Number: 9256 Registered: Jul-05 | these pio 306 r the most popular subs in my country because its cheap & gives some good loudness HOWEVER many box builders here say these 306 seems 2 love boxes that r larger than what pioneer rec so 2.25 - 2.5cuft / sub ported is what is used ,4" pvc port tuned into low 30s.... |

Gold Member Username: Extrmndor3Chicago, Ill Us Post Number: 2024 Registered: Feb-06 | u can put fiberglass on the wood to make it stronger if u make a smooth box and installed correclty the resine will get u .5-2.5 db's more |

Gold Member Username: DrivingrecklessNear tampa, Florida United state... Post Number: 1883 Registered: Apr-06 | u could resin the inside of the box but as many ppl say it can make or break ur score because it changes the tuning of ur box SO IF U RESIN take into account the volume u are displacing even if its approximate u should estimate it.... i like the ideas with the aeros my box sounds so much better ith aeros  |

New member Username: TinytruckDuluth, Ga US of A Post Number: 2 Registered: Oct-06 | you really cannot compare the sound of fiberglass to mdf. fiberglass has a much deeper tone if constructed right. and it will look a hundred times better. but it is a whole lot more work. if you still want to build with mdf though check out this webpage: www.mfr-eng.com they have a program that will tell you everything down to the dimensions of the box. any questions feel free to email me !!!! |

Silver Member Username: MakmillionMN United States Post Number: 812 Registered: Apr-06 | I'd stick with 1" MDF, I'd also stick with 2 cu/ft per chamber. Trust me, this box + those subs will sound excellent (for pioneers). If you go with 3/4", you'll have more flexing, the box won't be as strong and you'll want extra supports to reduce the stress on the top and sides of the box from the weight of the subs + the weight of the air pressure they'll produce within the box. You can use 3/4", but if I were building a 4 cu/ft box I'd use at least 1" MDF OR 1/2" birch ply |
