April 6, 200520 yr Author ok guys...i got a slight problem. the baffle is still flexing a fair amount. enough that i can hear it what should i do. cant do all thread because of port. any other suggestions. i was thinking of cutting another brace and replacing the one that's in there w/ one that's about 1/4" longer and shove it in.that wouldn't adversly affect anything? having constant pressure on the baffle? i need some suggestions! if i can't get it to sound right i'm gonna scrap the whole thing, cause it ain't nice if is sounds like @ss

April 6, 200520 yr use thicker\stronger wood for bracing. like a 1x2 or somthingcoat the inside baffle with fiberglass+resin
April 6, 200520 yr Author u can hear it flexing? with just 1400wrms (or so)? u sure it's not ur car?three things..add a second baffle...remove the box (yeah right..lol) and put soemthing like rhino liner on the outside.add more bracing on the inside. don't wedge it in, but attach it like thebrace u have in there now. but u'll reduce volume and raise tuning.wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee <{POST_SNAPBACK}> volume and tuning i'm not so much worried about. i'm not gonna change it enough to be worried about. and yes, i'm positive its the box. its only on the low notes, when the pressure inside the box is the greatest. if you put your hand on the box (right in the middle) you can feel it flexing... and if i push down, and hold it still the horrible noise is gone.
April 6, 200520 yr Author fixed it it wasn't that it wasn't braced good enough...it wasn't braced at all!i put on the center section of the flush baffle and the sound didn't change, so i took it back off cause if it didn't help i didn't want it.( it looked out of place) so i took the sub out to start some internal bracing....my brace had snapped. the sound was the two pieces vibrating together. and when i pushed on the baffle it pushed the two pieces together. it sounds fu(king awsome now!!!
April 7, 200520 yr sweet!! nice to know u got it fixed!!wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

April 9, 200520 yr Author i would...but i would have to run it through the port.i got one pic before the batteries went dead on my camera.the brace broke again. this time i doubled up the mdf so i got a 1.5" thick brace.
April 9, 200520 yr Author well, i already re did it. i got the mdf doubled up. i don't wanna keep taking them in and out. if something happens to this one. dual 2x4's it is.
