[QUOTE="PowerNaudio, post: 2153584, member: 561215"] i agree with the use of screws. i have found out that the closes you want to have them using 3/4"mdf is 6" that keeps the mdf safe from any spliting even if pre-drilling and it does actualy add to the strength of the enclosure. if using brad nails. every 4" work great. i have been able to separate two pieces of wood that had just been glued together with tightbond II. with my bare hands. but with screws on it it was almost imposible. had to use a hammer. but any ways lots of people will argue this issue im just giving you my two cents. and for turning your sealed enclosure into a ported enclosure here are some nice apps that can help you make it happen. i have been using this nice software thats free along with winISD is [URL="http://www.users.bigpond.com/bcolliso/freesoft.htm"]box notes[/URL]. here is what you get out of it. # Take into account the extra volume taken up by your ports, bracing and driver # Check the minimum dimensions required to house your driver # Quickly see the effect of changing port parameters # Spot problem resonances and adjust your dimensions to minimise their impact # Print your cutting list, including optional allowance for trimming with router # Save your work in boxnotes project files, including comments # Supports both Imperial and metric measurements # Generate a text based report containing your choice of information great looking enclosure you built there. let us know how it sounds once you get runing. laters [/QUOTE]
