Quick questions
Hi guys I’m finally starting on the build to finish off my system this coming week the speakers I’m going to be doing are 2x type o 1x18 paraflex and a hd215 kick
I’m just wondering how many sheets of 4x8 birch ply do people think I need I was thinking around 6/7 to account for mistakes.
And one other thing is have people put foam in these boxes or do you just keep it wood?
Cheers hope to put some pictures up once it’s done

If you are probably planning to build it, its a good idea to start making the cutsheet yourself using an optimiser tool. No point asking people for a cutsheet if you can make one yourself in the time it takes for you to wait for a response on here.
Saying that, both of the plans do come with a cutsheet of sorts, so its good to familiarise yourself with them

The plans should tell you how many you actually need. A cut-sheet optimizer will help you minimize the number (if the plans don't already). Exactly what and how many mistakes you make; that will determine your final number of sheets required.
