lol, what'd u think we used? just curious...
Most sub enclosers and amp racks are made with MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard)
Mainly becausethe density has better acoustics

That has GOT to weigh an assload. Nice system. What kind of camera are you using? I like how everything looks real orange because of the light settinggs.

yeah, its a bit heavy, but from my previous setup its a hell of lot lighter. its my friends $1200 camera, lol, the orange glow is actualy a 20" neon tube that is tucked behind the amp rack. while we were designing this, we left a gap on the bottom board of the amp rack to fit the neon.

lol like spun said most peeps use mdf but for amp racks its not necessary. I'm just more used to ghetto **** with particle board or wafer board... plywood isnt that bad but actual wood and mdf is really the only way to do it

thanx man...yeah it does add weight, but i made it easy to remove for when i go to the track. right now i've been pondering on how to make a quick disconnect for the wires without losing power to make it even easier to remove and install..

From what I hear you better bring a lunch, fiberglass is going to take a while to get perfected, but def. post some pics when your done. Just from what I see of what you did with wood I'd like to see what you can do with fiberglass.

just my $.02 i would buy a 1 or 2 really good subs instead of running 4 swap meet subs it would be lighter and look better. More is not always better. I know guys with one sub that will put out more db's and sound better then most 2 or 3 sub setups. most of your sound starts with the box.if u build the perfect vented box u can easily double your output. try some of these subs https://ssl.perfora.net/www.ficaraud...dex.shopscript
best subs on the market right now and for a fration of the price of most subs

yeah the glass work will take some time for sure, but i'm expecting that. Should be fun tho... as for the subs i think i'm gonna keep mine, reason being is i like the color and brand that they are.. i guess you can say i'm goin for more style than a deffening sound, they sound good tho dont get me wrong. that sub from that link looks sick tho!

not entirely, but the way they are tuned helps that from happening.... plus with the new design i'm workin with will have the side ones on an upward angle and should prevent any type of interference with each other..
