i was talking to a guy at the local car audio store about MDF and wood that is lighter and stronger. he told me that baltic birch is better than MDF in about every way other than cost. has any one ever used it? is there any other wood that is better? i am trying to make a stronger box but trying to keep down on the weight
Strong and light dont mix. Some other box making material to look at. terpin light, like mdf, 1/2" fiberglass = 3/4 mdf 1/4 aluminum = 3/4 mdf baltic birch 1/2 = 3/4 mdf
there is also a subfloor plywood that is resined that Ive seen used for spl boxes I can find out in a few what it is , but try google.
i guess most of the stuff i have messed with was really thin. i just always thought mdf held in vibrations better than metals. i know aluminum is stronger as in breaking it but i thoguht it was easy to bend. i have a welder and scraps i could pull something like that togather. it would be different than any thing i have ever seen
