My box I built
|
Bronze Member Username: TatonkaPost Number: 40 Registered: Mar-07 | My first box. I had to cut this box in half, so I could put it in my trunk lol. Put the bottom in first, the put the top on and seal/screw it together. In these pics I have not cut the sub circle and I have not carpeted it yet, but Later on I will post pics of when I get it all installed. Built out of 3/4 oak. *also if anyone can give me any idea on how to connect the two halves of the box together, it would help alot http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/3829/dscn0162th3.jpg http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1843/dscn0163tk4.jpg *not sure how to post pics on here lol* |

Silver Member Username: The_image_dynamicSan Diego Post Number: 709 Registered: Dec-06 | Plys as in plywood... layers of wood. Unless I am completely going blind, that looks like solid-core plywood with an oak veneer. |

Bronze Member Username: TatonkaPost Number: 44 Registered: Mar-07 | Hm, well I know part of it is oak. And plywood planks. Is this bad or? |

Silver Member Username: The_image_dynamicSan Diego Post Number: 711 Registered: Dec-06 | ^^^ This is generally true but that solid core with veneer is some extremely strong stuff... it will be fine. |
|
Bronze Member Username: TatonkaPost Number: 45 Registered: Mar-07 | Isnt exactly plywood. This stuff is extremely heavy and extremely strong. |

Use glue and these. http://woodworking.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ/Ya&sdn=woodworking&c dn=hobbies&tm=16&gps=55_148_854_554&f=10&su=p445.92.150.ip_&tt=14&bt=1&bts=1&zu= http%3A//www.woodcraft.com/ And oak ply, must have been pricey. |

Bronze Member Username: TatonkaPost Number: 48 Registered: Mar-07 | how? lol |

Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 2257 Registered: Mar-06 | Quality ply, like oak, birch, cherry will give a box a richer sound. ppl tend to use mdf because of its afforability. Quality ply $60 + a sheet MDF $ 25 a sheet When is the last time you saw a high end home speaker set up made with mdf speaker cabinets? |
