Honestly, I tried with and without just the front double baffle (where the sub mounts)...I haven't seen any difference...who knows maybe in the long term it will make more of a diff?With the 4 vertical dowels, is the double baffle really needed?
True that, im just trying to save myself some time...It wont hurt...
Yeah iv been thinking about using all thread but i need to look into it some more, I think Il see how it does with just the 4 dowels and a single top, then i can always go back and add a double baffle and even all thread.Honestly, I tried with and without just the front double baffle (where the sub mounts)...I haven't seen any difference...who knows maybe in the long term it will make more of a diff?
I'd throw it on if you have the space and extra wood...otherwise I wouldn't bother...
By the way, try some all-thread. My box (for my MT 18 also) is very similar to yours...I used wooden dowels and then added some all-thread...the all-thread is more of a pain to install but I think it works better for bracing...
Yep, I think that's a good idea...try it out and then you can always add it later...Yeah iv been thinking about using all thread but i need to look into it some more, I think Il see how it does with just the 4 dowels and a single top, then i can always go back and add a double baffle and even all thread.
thanks for the info, btw what amp do you have on your mt?
I'll ask you just as I asked lilmaniac; Explain yourself?wooden dowels = teh ghey!
maybe the way you use them //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gifwooden dowels = teh ghey!
Alright Il see how the dowels do, but if i see any little flexing im deffently switching it up to all-threadsBest bracing I have ever used is All-Thread threaded rod.
Not only is it reusable, but it braces from the inside and out, Wooden dowels only prevent the box from flexing in on itself, eventually if your box flexes enough, it can pull the glue/nail/screw joint apart.
Thats why you mainly see 2x4s and Allthread in SPL vehicles. Just a better way.
I definitely couldn't agree with you more about all thread being the best. However, next time you build a box use wooden dowels and secure them with glue and a 3" deckmate screw. I can honestly say with great certainty that it won't pull loose. Construction is 98% of the battle, but you already knew that.Best bracing I have ever used is All-Thread threaded rod.
