how dave braces a sealed enclosure

That's the new enclosure for the recently, freely acquired Eclipse Ti 10" woofer. For those of you that have ever wondered about what haemphyst is thinking when he refers to "bracing of the enclosure", this is what's in mind! Is this too much? Not hardly! It's juuuuust right! That's 1" pine plank for the outside walls, with all 3/4 inch MDF inside for the bracing... No ring here, thank you!It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Haha. Love it. Why Pine plank? ive never used anything other than mdf... Jus wonderin.UNLABELED Custom Car Club President

"Because oak was too expensive", or "'cuz it's pretty..." LOL Actually, I like it's sound. Softer woods such as pine tend to have a faster damping response than higher density "man-mades". Also, with the very solid brace to wall interface I have made, the differences in material density further damp any cabinet resonances.It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Nice looking little thing Dave.  Seal those seams. Support the12volt.com

Nice looking box.  What are you going to use to seal it up?Kevin Pierson

Well... One, the rocks are already being hand picked from my back yard. Sorry RoxBox® fans, I ain't got no river near me, y'all jus' gunna hafta be happy with this, fer now. I am allowing the dogs to run around on the pile of candidates, each of them being thoroughly saturated with "doggie releases", for that "little extra". Two. The Gorilla Glue, which I have always used to construct my boxes, has never once let me down as far as a seal is concerned. Careful application along the seal edges will always ensure an occlusive bead once the adhesive expands and cures. IF there is any need to apply a sealant after then I will reach in there and apply something latex based - that'll be plenty - but I am expecting to need nothing... I've been good to go in the past! Three. No plex, no lights. :)
