Ok..nearing assembly time...

question is...how far apart do you all space the screws on your boxes?

Also, would it do any good to put polyfill in?

I need quality equipment, feel free to donate.

i usually space the screws about 1.5" apart to keep bending to a minimum.

Between 1" and 1.5" should be fine. Make sure you Pre-Drill the holes to prevent splitting. Countersinking the holes may make for a neater covering job as well.

Polyfill is mainly used to make an enclosure that was built too small sound larger. I believe the general rule of thumb with it is 1 pound per cubic ft. I'd listen to the enclosure first, then experiment with different amounts of polyfill until you get the sound that you want.

If you're building a ported enclosure I wouldn't recommend it though. The polyfill can be blown out of the ports!

ok. its sealed after each sub is in it should be around 1.3cu ft

Also, would it be wise to make the baffle double boarded...to sections cut out and glued together?
