Box Bracing
The above box illustrates where the box braces attach. Each wall should be connected to its opposite
wall, i.e. front to back, side to side and top to bottom. Tying the
braces together in the center increases the strength greatly.
Internal box bracing
provides more strength to your box and makes it more rigid. What does this mean?
Simply, the box will flex less. And a box that flexes less is a happier box. In
most cases, box bracing provides more rigidity than double layering every wall
on the box. When bracing your box, it is best to connect every wall with its
opposite side and have each brace meet in one central location in the middle of
the box. That will make the box extremely strong; sometimes as strong as a small
pony. It also serves the purpose of making your system work more efficiently. As
if trying to get an electromagnet system to move air isn’t hard enough; try
getting it to flex ¾” mdf
wood. That’s putting even more strain on the system. The key word in
getting any audio system loud and happy is efficiency. How
efficiently can this speaker move air? How efficiently can this
amplifier turn battery power into watts to drive a speaker?
