My sealed IDMAX box is 15x15x15 (exterior), do you think I need to put a brace on the inside?

another question, will the 2" drywall screws i used for the box be good enough to screw the sub in with? I really have no clue this is my first sub and this sub is one heavy mofo

2" is plenty...not like anything over 3/4" (if using a single baffle) is going to help //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Bracing depends. if your gonna compete I would meter it first, then brace and re-meter it. Some times box flex will help your score. If it's for a daily driver and want sq as well you can brace it. Just remember that bracing eats up internal airspace. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
