ok, so im designing my box for my truck now, and its for two jl w6v2's

i'm going with a sealed, downfiring box, with seperate chambers. i have tried

to get the most space, and right now i can get 0.818 cu.ft. (jl recommends .5
- 1.0 cu.ft.). my question is should i stick with this size, or lose some space

by using two braces. by using the two braces the box volume will go down to

0.743 cu.ft.

should i get all the airspace i can? or sacrifice some by running two braces?

 

correction, the volume without braces is 0.818 cu.ft.

and with braces is 0.7852 cu.ft.


.....if it makes a difference

 

I'm assuming they are 10"s... Use threaded rods as bracing, save yourself mad volume.

 

ya they are 10's

i've seen the threaded rods, but i don't know if they would be as effective


i was just going to use mdf braces, about .75 x .75


like this

so with yer response i take it u recommend sacrificing a bit of air for braces?

 

Threaded rods are FAR stronger than MDF bracing bro.

 

they are stronger, but cover less area

so for a sound quality enclosure, wouldn't the mdf make more sence?
