Posted September 22, 200915 yr Hi to all, I'm new to the forum and I need info about a new enclosure based on two REaudio sx12 subs, I've thinked about a 4cf tuned to 35hz box 'cause I listen to hipop/rap and r&b kind of music. Can the box be built with mdf light or mdf ultra light material?
September 22, 200915 yr You can use baltic birch void-free plywood. That stuff is a lot lighter than MDF. I made my last box out of it. Or you can make it out of fiberglass, but that's a fair bit more work.
September 22, 200915 yr Author Thank you for the reply, is 4cf tuned at 35hz the right box for these subs?
September 22, 200915 yr Author Ok, there's someone who can help me designing this kind of box? I need to fit it to the trunk of my beemer.
September 22, 200915 yr i dont know the strength properties of going with mdf light or virtually any other wood that is lighter AND costs nearly the same...Typically, the lighter the wood is, the more expensive it will be if retaining or even increasing it's strength. Some wood used in boats cost over $200 a sheet and is very light but impractical.My suggestion is to use bracing in the box just as a precaution for whatever lightweight material you choose to use.
September 23, 200915 yr Author what are the dimensions of the area you have to work with?I'll take some measure of the trunk.
