Silver Member Username: Daddy_phat_sackPost Number: 295 Registered: May-05 | i like the last ones looks... it looks awesome  ... and i wouldnt recomend placing an amp on a box or in one period. the vibrations could jar some stuff in the amp loose and ruin ur amp. i had that happen to me once. |

Bronze Member Username: RichierchPost Number: 68 Registered: Jun-05 | omg that sucks i really wanted the amp to be part of the box..but either way the amp is gonna be close to the box so wont it vibrate any way you do it |

This kid spends all this time "designing" what ever the hell that is, and I STILL can't tell him wtf to do. I need dimensions, better yet, tell me your space requirements, and I'll design you a box... sound like a deal? Also, that amp is a POS! |

Silver Member Username: Dominirica012Charlotte, North Carolina US Post Number: 231 Registered: May-05 | go with either the second or last one..the seconds one is a conventional box while the last one seems like its 2 seperate boxes with an amp stand in the middle |

Silver Member Username: MixneffectOrangevale, Ca. USA Post Number: 236 Registered: Apr-05 | Heres a tip: With your bare knuckles, knock on the 3/4" MDF. Listen to the sound it makes as you knock on it. Now knock on the 1" MDF. Listen to the sound it makes. The difference is: The thinner material will sound as a lower note compared to the thicker or more dense material. You want the higher pitched knock. The materials that resonate less, will sound better because you will get sound coming from the speaker and only speaker itsself. Some people get excited when an enclosure sounds BOOMY. They think that more sound is better. |

Plus all components are soldered to the circuit board and that sh!t dont come loose to easy. |
