March 8, 200916 yr Internal bracing will do A LOT more good than doubling everything.depending on the install. I do double baffle so that the box won't flex and try to fall apart making it stronger. Bracing helps but double baffling is necessary depending on what your building. For this one i would do it

March 8, 200916 yr Author if i feel the need to double everything up after the initial testing, then i sure will do. even if i gotta do it the morning before i leave for Daytona.

For this one i would do itMost double baffles are to keep the sub(s) from ripping out of the box.no you do it so the pressure from the subs don't destroy it. If you got alot of power etc you wanna do it. I have seen alot of boxes flex due to not double baffling it( everything sides, bottom top). Like i said, some people need to do it, some don't. 1inch mdf will work to Edited March 8, 200916 yr by bigt
March 8, 200916 yr Author all in all this set-up is probably gonna get taken out soon depending on how much i like the sound.i know what not to do now when building a wall so the next one should be plenty better. all in all though, im gonna have a port braced with 2x4's as well as like 6 braces inside the box from various other points. if this thing flexxes id be quite surprised.

March 8, 200916 yr whatever.....just giving my opinion. no matter what you use for bracing, it will flex
March 8, 200916 yr plan was for 3 18's but i accidentally cut my baffle to short :rollseyes: so i just decided to go with 2.Power will come from either a US Amps XT4000D @ 2 ohms, or 2 DD M80's Strapped @ 2 ohms.has 225 amp alt and 1/0 big three. and big 3 throughout the truck.going to switch subs out if i dont like them to much for something else ... we'll see what the ones i got on the way do Aren't you using the Z1 ?
