The do's and dont''s of my first wall....it seems like something isn't right....

Nonsense. As far as rigidity there is little difference between MDF and even cheap plywood.

Really? Im actually suprised. Everytime i use plywood it feels like it splinters and breaks very easily.

11 layer sanded ply is WAAAAY stronger than mdf. mdf is the bottom of the food chain in terms of strength. You've probably been using garbage plywood. this video proves you completely wrong.



thats the exact Bullsh*t (regurgitated from older car audio guys that took half @ssed tests waaay out of proportion) that caused people to toss plywood aside for years when its a perfectly good wood (superior wood). The actual amount of resonance is d*mn near zero and indistinguishable with proper bracing. this is utter and complete misinformation.

In the competition scene you hardly see people do mdf anymore, no strength, too heavy, less results due to weight constraints.

I really like the way you did your wall hispls....to me it looks really good. I didn't even think about putting 2x4's in the back like that....I'm going to do that for sure. And i would prefer to keep all three because i want more cone area. And I've never had three 18's before and my goal is to do atleast 150 on music....i assume that's very likely with my setup now. Well after i redo my wall that is. And yes my subs seem like they're bottoming out on the low notes....they dont hit very hard and they sound kinda hollowed out.

You don't think I'll do 150+? Not necessarily on music just overall.
