Well I'm looking at building a PR'd box to replace my sealed Tumult. My question is if it would be better to go with double walled(1 1/2" total thickness)13ply Baltic Birch or single walled(except for the speaker baffle) and use internal bracing?
I have access to a full woodshop thru my father. All he asks is that I be able to give him drawings(preferably to scale). He thought he could do the bracing in the shape of an X(when looking down from the top) or it would be simple enough to do the bracing in the form of a "tic-tac-toe" shape.
His feeling is, even doubled up it may not be as stiff as it should be. This is simply going by the idea of "no such thing as to stiff/strong of a box. Where with the internal bracing you're connecting the walls together both vertically and horizontally.
I was planning on 22" internal cube if using all the internal bracing otherwise 21" internal cube with 1 1/2" walls.
Thanks,
Brad
