hey i got 2 pioneer TS-W251F 10" subs in a sealed enclosure i made, i used 3/4" MDF board and the enclosure is about 1.08 cubic feet per sub. I was wondering should i brace the corners? will it make a big difference? This is the first box ive made, and its pretty solid. :)

On such a small box it really isn't necessary. If the box doesn't have a divider then I would brace the middle of the box though.

on the subject of bracing boxes...i have a 12" brahma, i'm building my own box. obviously i'll need to brace it, but the design is not just a regular cube, would just bracing the sides be enough?

I know it is a pain but on boxes that are not cubes I always make a baffel to brace the boxes, takes a lot of work but bracing now is better than rebuilding later. I have been building boxes for a long time, mainly rebuilding boxes for others that have been blown apart.

It's not just the corners that need braced it is the walls of the enclosure. You don't want the walls to flex. Most bracing runs front to back and side to side and top to bottom. Almost any enclosure needs to be braced. The more bracing you can use the more sonicly neutral your enclosure will be. A baffle is the name for any wall in or on the enclosure. Here's some info. ------------- Support the12volt.com
