That bracing is gonna cause some db loss. just a few triangle type braces is probably all you really need.

someone said in another thread that i will loose alot of low notes and the sub will become very punchy.

would these affects cause the sub to sound horrible ?

can bracing be in the outside ?

got pics ? what do they look like?

Heh, been a while lol

Honestly, you dont need much bracing for a daily box... look in the sub cutout, youll see what i mean. those triangles are 4" squares cut diagonally.

any specific part of the box where they should be placed?
