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 exible 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 according
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 difference. 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 bres à
densité moyenne) ou le HDF (panneau de bres à haute densité) de ¾ po à 1 po. Pour un
grand boîtier double de plus de 2 pieds carrés, ajouter un renforcement croisé supplémen-
taire 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 exible 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 xer 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 sufsamment 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
effectuées 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 n 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 !
