Box SIzeS And BuIldInG tIPS
The material of choice for building a strong box is 3/4" to 1" MDF (Medium
Density Fiberboard or HDF (High Density Fiberboard). For a large dual boxes
more than 2 Cu.Ft. adding additional cross bracing using strips of this material
is a good idea to help reduce panel vibration. Don't use particle board is not
very good for speaker enclosures. It soaks up water like a sponge, is flexible
and will crumble when you try to screw the woofer in. A solid bead of wood glue
is recommended for joining two pieces of wood together along with 1-1/4 to 1
1/2" drywall screws or 1-1/2" staples. Remember the glue will be doing almost
all the work once it has dried. A fastener placed about every 3" will hold the box
together good enough until the glue dries. After assembling the box and allowing
the glue to set up, use silicone sealer to make absolutely sure the corners and
other visible seams are perfectly sealed. The sizes below are a guidelines accord-
ing to our in car testing and computer analysis. Don't worry if you box is a little
larger or smaller than the below recommendations the world will not come to an
end, the sun will come up tomorrow and you will probably won't hear the differ-
ence. Usually a change of more than .15 Cu.Ft. is needed before even someone
with golden ears is able to hear the difference.

tAIlleS de BoîtIer et conSeIlS de FABrIcAtIon
Le matériau de choix pour construire un boîtier solide est le MDF (panneau de fibres à
densité moyenne) ou le HDF (panneau de fibres à haute densité) de ¾ po à 1 po. Pour
un grand boîtier double de plus de 2 pieds carrés, ajouter un renforcement croisé
supplémentaire en utilisant des bandes de ce matériau est une bonne idée pour
contribuer à réduire les vibrations des panneaux. N'utilisez pas de l'aggloméré de bois
qui n'est pas très adapté aux boîtiers pour haut-parleur. Il absorbe l'eau comme une
éponge, est flexible et s'émiettera lorsque vous essaierez de visser le haut-parleur de
graves en place. Il est recommandé d'utiliser une quantité importante de colle à bois
pour fixer deux pièces de bois ensemble en plus des vis à cloison sèche de 1-1/4 à 1
½ po ou des agrafes 1-1/2 po. N'oubliez pas que la colle fera presque tout le travail
une fois qu'elle aura séché. Des attaches placées tous les 3 po environ maintiendront
suffisamment le boîtier jusqu'à ce que la colle sèche. Une fois le boîtier assemblé et
une fois la colle sèche, utilisez un agent d'étanchéité à base de silicone pour vous
assurer à 100 % que les coins et autres arêtes visibles sont parfaitement étanches.
Les tailles ci-dessous sont des recommandations découlant de nos analyses ef-
fectuées sur ordinateur et en conditions réelles dans des voitures. Ne vous inquiétez
pas si votre boîtier est un petit peu plus grand ou plus petit que les recommandations
ci-dessous. Ce n'est pas la fin du monde, le soleil continuera à se lever demain matin
et vous n'entendrez probablement pas la différence. Il faut généralement une variation
de plus de 0,15 pied cube avant que la différence puisse être entendue par quelqu'un
ayant une oreille en or !
