[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 1583852, member: 550915"] I would do triangular bracing on the center of every edge or just run a tack strip down each edge. The only problem I see with either design is they both leave large sections of unbraced MDF. On the first one, the sections between the braces are almost as big as the space would be without a brace. Wasted bracing. On the second, the whole back panel is unbraced. With a double baffle on the front, it should be good and the center divider stiffen it even more. I would probably cut two "U" shaped braces that wrap all the way around sides of each chamber and across the back and then do the same for the top-back-bottom. Notch them together where they meet on the back panel. Should provide plenty of bracing without displacing too much space in the box. I don't have a drawing program worth the name here or I would diagram it for you. [/QUOTE]
