i'm making a box for the bottom half of my well. here's the post i have going on what it's gona be like but i planned on using 1/2 in MDF and a post at this site was talking about it and telling them thier concerns and someone else told me the smallest should use should be 5/8's but's it's only 1/8's bigger. but they were talking about a box in a trunk out in the open, mine will have the well all around it. so is this a bad idea or should i use 5/8's. also it's my first box and i'm not sure how to secure each peice together. glue and screws?


o ya
1/2 in MDF i get 1.49 ft^3
5/8 in MDF i get 1.38 ft^3 i need 1.5

 

poly fill should be able to make up for the .12FT^3

 

its doubtful you will notice the difference even in the smaller box. I heard the ED VW in KC a few weeks ago and the 10s were in a smaller box than they recomend and it sounded very nice.

 

ok so i'll use 5/8's and use polyfill, but 2 ?'s 1. where do i get it, is it called polyfill? and 2. how much do i use

 

polyfill is at wallyworld its what you use to stuff pillows with. and losly fill the box with it.

 

fill up the box but should i make sure it doesn't touch the sub itself?

 

im not sure on that one. might not want it to since the sub can get hot and you dont want that stuff starting on fire. but im not sure abou that so ill let an expert chime in here.

 

that was my exact thought.
