Gold Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 1065 Registered: Aug-06 | what should i use for bracing? i want somthing that will be strong but not take up alot of box volume and also not be visible from the outside like thoes threaded metal rods with the bolts. |

Gold Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 1068 Registered: Aug-06 | will they be strong enough tho? i was thinking a .75x.75 peice of mdf wouldnt be strong enough espichally if it has to span 20 inches or so. |

Gold Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 1070 Registered: Aug-06 | is there any way to make the rods not stick out? is there some sort of flush mount nuts. |

Gold Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 1080 Registered: Aug-06 | i may even coat some thin dowels in fiberglass or epoxy resin just so i can have somthing that is thin strong and albe to screw into and have flush bracing from the outside, |

Post Number: 13027 Registered: Jul-05 | u mean in a slot port box ? well sometimes (depending on the shape of course) i connect a piece of wood from front baffle just near to the speaker cut out hole to the rear wall call me nuts but a few times i actaully used a 2x4" piece of wood to stiffen front baffle board (between the 2 subs) to the rear wall .....  |

Gold Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 1084 Registered: Aug-06 | yea a slot port box. the port is centerd between the two drivers and the port at the back of the box bends out to both sides to uses the back wall as part of the port as well as the top and bottom of the box. |
