Building enclosure for 10w6v2, got a questin?

[very lost 10+ year member]

This is my first "real" box I have built other than the Frankenstein ones when I was younger.

I am using the plans that JL recommends.

22"L X 12"H X 10 3/4"W with a 1 1/4" port.

I know I wasn’t supposed to use particle board but I had it left over from something else. I wanted to save on weight so I chose 1/2" and I am going use resin on the inside of the box.

Question:

Will one layer of resin be good?

Will it matter if I don’t resin the port area?

With 1/2 you are going to need to brace that thing internally.

I made a jig and used a router.

I though since it was a small box I wouldn't need to. Where should I brace it?

I would install triangles in all corners, in fact I would use two in each corner.

How about this:

With all of the red braces in the center of the box.

Alright, you have convinced me to remake it with 3/4" MDF.

I think I will glue the top on this box and see if I can blow it up.

You do know putting those in the port would cause some major airflow and turbulence isues?

Please for the love of god do not put the 6v2 in there. It will not do it justice. A note, the JL recomended ported enclosure has port noise. The port surface area is to small. Just a little FYI.

What size should I make the port?

What size should I make the port?

10.5 x 2

But this would change the box's internal volume and effect the tunning frequency. Basically you build their box design or get a whole different one.
