Silver Member Username: Killerzracing71Fredericksburg, Virginia United states Post Number: 402 Registered: Aug-05 | well i never relly knew where to get MDF or how much it cost....I knew it wuz cheap but my dad had about 15-20 sheets of particle board.....N anutha thing the dude that wuz gona build the box for me said i should use the particle board...I knew that Particle board wasnt the best choice...N told him that i should use Mdf....Then like i said forget it i got alot of plywood...(okay now that u got the story).. so mdf for the boxes everything else plywood.... i got a pic of the layout on anutha thread https://www.ecoustics.com/cgi-bin/bbs/show.pl?tpc=4&post=650550#POST650550 (wasnt getting a good enough response so i redid the title) okay whut about the box having a cutout to get to the lights (duh it will be sealed up when i dont need to get to the light) will that be okay.... O sealed boxes can be any shape right....wont affect the sound if i make it a wierd shape will it........ Dang rovin i never bought MDF before.....How much should it cost for a sheet....and how much should i get |

Silver Member Username: LewassBoomfield Hills, MI USA Post Number: 384 Registered: Jan-06 | Don't make the shape too weird, at least try to keep it symmetrical, thats the most important thing.. Depends how high the gain is on your amp, and how high you are turning the HU up. If you are not maxing out either the amp or the HU, then it is time to upgrade your electrical system. Otherwise figure out what piece you are stressing the most, and replace that. Clipping happens when: A) Your amp is trying to pull more power from your battery than the battery can dish out. B) You are turning the volume up past 90% on your head unit. (This % varies greatly depending on make/model/quality of the HU. A Pyle HU probably clips at 50% of max volume, haha) C) You have the gain turned up too high on your amplifier (unless you are a car audio expert, or are using a much more powerful amp than recommended, all gains should be set to 75% by default) There may be other circumstances too but these I know for sure. |
