what glue does moelester use on his boxes?!?!?!

no i said he LOST 2db's
not sure how truthful he was.

he said he gained about .5 from doing a double top baffle (where the subs were mounted). but sinking the subs in so it was flush with the top baffle.

he lost almost 2db's from doubling every wall to make the whole box 1.5" thick all the way around instead of .75"

gotcha..

i know a few others who have lost output on the tl by double walling everything as well. maybe not 2db, but enough they won't ever double anything. rather, they'll use 1" in place of 3/4", but they really don't ever do that. mostly, just a few braces...

walls? different story from what i've been told.

I have a question...

Is Titebond better than Elmers yellow wood glue? I have always used the Elmers. I ran out and the local store I went to only had the Titebond (red bottle) I havent used it yet and was just wondering.

double wallin a streetbox may or may not gain - you never know until you try. Part of it is laminating the sheets properly... liquid nails really isn't the best way.

Walls gain ALOT from thicker panels, mostly because the panels are SO BIG.

OK. Just thought that since it seems everyone is using Titebound, There musta been a reason.

Glue is glue!! That is like comparing Pepsi to Coke.. you will have some people who like Coke and others that would prefer a Pepsi over the Coke.

People may lose from doubling up because more flex=lower impedance rise //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

also raises the note most of the time.

impedence rise is bad.....and i used titebond 2 on this last box i made..and its nice stuff....but i STILL used screws in it. i dont want my boxes flying apart.

impedence rise is bad.

and effeciant boxes are good //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

its a tradeoff... properly designed setups will wang it either way.
