well im going to try and save money and try a build? so im wondering, is it cheaper and or better to use plywood? or mdf?
Use MDF. Its only $30 a sheet. Can get two boxes out of a sheet if they are small enough. I got 2.6 cu ft and 1.4 cu ft both ported out of 1 sheet. So about $15 a box.well im going to try and save money and try a build? so im wondering, is it cheaper and or better to use plywood? or mdf?
you're joking right?? you didn't really just suggest using partical board did you?3/4 partical board works good alsoits cheaper then mdf
I wouldnt. Less dense the MDF and isnt as strong. You may be able to get away with it, but I wouldn't personaly. If your sub isn't that powerful you can use 1/2" instead of 3/4" which will save some.3/4 partical board works good alsoits cheaper then mdf
Wow thats pricey I just went out and ordered a sheet for my next build @ my local hardware store and 3/4 mdf was only $24 a sheet.so mdf > plywood?
but i think mdf is alot more expensive in my area. i know for sure its no $30 a sheet. plywood is cheaper. and pywood here costs about 60-70 a sheet. :\
You sure your not looking at Birch ply?so mdf > plywood?
