HOW MUCH MDF DO I NEED? Need answer quick!

[Americanstrat21 10+ year member]

I am building a ported box for my 18" Q right after I get the answer to how much wood I need. The box is going to be around 6.7 ^3 so can someone give me an estimation of how much MDF I will need?

Thanks!

I would at least do a double baffle.

How many sheets do I need?

May sound stupid but what is a Double Baffle?

 

[Americanstrat21 10+ year member]

buuummppp

The wall that the subs mount to would be the baffle.

The baffle would be where the subs are mounted. A double baffle would equal two pieces of wood.

Oh ok.. So I should just make sure I double layer the baffle but the rest of the box should be fine with just one piece ?

With the double baffle I should get 2 4x8 pieces of MDF wood and should have more than enough wood?

This is correct.
