[QUOTE="fannin88, post: 7876931, member: 632496"] Yeah, I never really considered metal for this . If you hit it hard enough, itll stayed bent. Wood wont do that. Sound waves can cause metal to resonate. Wood wont do that. Metal weighs more than wood. Metal costs money, and has to be deadened. I have alot of wood, which doesnt have to be deadened. So why pay for something, which I think, is less superior, in my case. I just cant find any pros to metal vs wood. I usually have large items in my trunk like my tool box, a milk crate full of various cans, grease, big hammers, filters, jumper cables ect. Nothing that wouldnt be stopped by the wood if spaced 3-5" apart. So I do have my mind made up on material. But I was asking if using a piece of left over wafer board on top of the 2x2s screwed to the face of the box would help to act as if the box was closer to the very rear of the car, as it seemed to make it louder to the ear when it was shoved back. If not, Im just going to do 4-6 2x2 strips from side to side across the box. [/QUOTE]
