More good idea's

USe baltic birch.. thats the wood of choice for all P.A. equipment.. its firmer then MDF but its really really light in comparison. There are special corners that cabinet builders use... kind of like "male and Female" borders of the wood that would be really firm and (basically) airtight. I'd personally do that if you did use that "collapsable box" thing.


hope that helps.

 

Im not looking to spend an arm and a leg so I think regular void free oak will be good enough...

I know baltic is the best for weight and strength..... but on the other hand its a bit brittle in compairison....... ever see one end of a 200lb cabinate get dropped onto concreat... lol... ??

regular marine grade or just VF from hardwood is the best comprimise of box building materials IMO..... (MDF = yukk)

Ill be back home for slack week at school so Ill see what kind of materials and tools I can come up with to haul up to peterborough so I can get started....

oh ya, I have to get the subs too... (bigmans RE SX 18s and Iam going to try and steal a multi KW amp from my dad... lol.. )

You guys think this will be enough bass to go with my 600watt 5.1 pioneer system ??


I can't wait

you should see if you can get your hands on some FORMICA ... that might be a nice finish for the enclosure... it even comes in stainless [img]smile.gif[/img]

if you plan it out right you will have no outter visible signs that the enclosure is colapsable... hint use the foam idea, angle iron and the bolts you posted a pic of... have the NUT end inside the enclosure [img]smile.gif[/img]
