Andrew Capps Gold Member Username: Shortysetnies Rock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 1730 Registered: Mar-06	Posted on Tuesday, January 22, 2008 - 18:58 GMT I would just use 3/4" MDF unless you are using the wood for something else besides a box. 3/4" MDF would be plenty strong for that setup

Andrew Capps Gold Member Username: Shortysetnies Rock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 1740 Registered: Mar-06	Posted on Tuesday, January 22, 2008 - 20:53 GMT Half inch would work with bracing. How big will the biggest side be? And fiberglass wouldnt add too much strength to it. Fiberglass is strongest where it is curved/bent
No Limit Soldier Silver Member Username: Ska Post Number: 167 Registered: Jan-08	Posted on Tuesday, January 22, 2008 - 22:17 GMT well im guessing ( havn't taken measurments yet) that its about 2 ft by maybe 3 feet ish? so the wood won't be very big

Andrew Capps Gold Member Username: Shortysetnies Rock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 1742 Registered: Mar-06	Posted on Wednesday, January 23, 2008 - 04:36 GMT 2x3 will be fine with 1/2" if you brace it. Might not need it but it wont hurt.
No Limit Soldier Silver Member Username: Ska Post Number: 186 Registered: Jan-08	Posted on Wednesday, January 23, 2008 - 17:49 GMT bracing it with some fiberglass will be ok right?
Polo Gold Member Username: Safe_cracker Chicago, IL US Post Number: 3962 Registered: Jan-06	Posted on Wednesday, January 23, 2008 - 19:52 GMT Strongest or densest? There is a difference. Strongest is going to have to be OSB (orientated strand board) this stuff when coated with epoxy will not need bracing. My External port TCAB box was made out of that, just not as dense as MDF... Polo.
No Limit Soldier Silver Member Username: Ska Post Number: 188 Registered: Jan-08	Posted on Wednesday, January 23, 2008 - 19:53 GMT i just need something that wont flex... and will minimize vibrations as much as possible
Polo Gold Member Username: Safe_cracker Chicago, IL US Post Number: 3963 Registered: Jan-06	Posted on Wednesday, January 23, 2008 - 19:59 GMT OSB... Reason being it is made up of multiple layers of wood strands orientated in different patterns to overlap, then resin is added along with a healthy dose of pressure, extremely strong and no flex that is the builing material of choice for homes. Birch you will need at least a 11-13 ply for enclosures then you need bracing. Polo.
No Limit Soldier Silver Member Username: Ska Post Number: 190 Registered: Jan-08	Posted on Thursday, January 24, 2008 - 17:28 GMT Polo where would i get OSB? how thik does it have to be for no flexing?
Polo Gold Member Username: Safe_cracker Chicago, IL US Post Number: 3975 Registered: Jan-06	Posted on Thursday, January 24, 2008 - 19:32 GMT same 5/8 or 3/4" very popular material. Polo..
