Bet that is heavy as shit!

well right now with 4 sides 3 layers we figured over 400lbs

It will go in next weekend once i buy everyone redbulls and lunch

i just googled the weight of mdf it says anywhere from 80-103 lbs depending on the quality

so with close to 6 sheets on the box now that is any where from 480-618lbs

It's .75" mdf. Don't let the pics fool you, this box is massive! There really is not anything to use for reference in either pic though. Maybe Steve can grab a pic with someone standing next to the box this week.

soft parts are from a local here and the coils are a knock off of a well known company
