RaisesI know I should have built my box a little bigger to account for the bracing, but it's too late and I didn't. All I need to know is if adding bracing raises or lowers the tuning?
liquid nails+MDF does not equal strong bond. liquid nails shouldnt be used on mdf at all.The first one I built was 9.8 cu. ft. This one is 7 cu. ft. The first one was flexing like crazy and that's why I added braces to the second one. I used the triangular mdf braces. I might be able to knock a few of them out with a hammer, but that liquid nails is strong as hell?
I disagree. Sometimes you'll break the mdf before you could separate 2 pieces of mdf. The bond is strong enough for me. I also use screws. I have used wood glue on other boxes and I like liquid nails better. When I break a box apart I'll stop using liquid nails, but I have a better chance of getting struck by lightning.liquid nails+MDF does not equal strong bond. liquid nails shouldnt be used on mdf at all.
2 15"s and 1.2k blew a box i built with screws/liquid nails apart. more like wood slapping than exploding but w.e.I disagree. Sometimes you'll break the mdf before you could separate 2 pieces of mdf.

What? How big is your box?I did the math and the internal volume dropped to 6.96 cubes. Maybe the tuning won't be raised that much?
User error. I've always used liquid nails and never had a problem. It laughs at my 18" BTL with 3000wrms.2 15"s and 1.2k blew a box i built with screws/liquid nails apart. more like wood slapping than exploding but w.e.
