I am building a TubaHT Low Profile in 36" width. In the build instructions, it says that you can use 3 sets of braces for enclosures that are wider than 25", but not to exceed 8" in between braces.
A 36" wide enclosure with three sets of braces would have them spaced apart 8.375" (more than 8").
A 36" wide enclosure with four sets of braces would have them spaced apart 6.6".
Which would you choose, three or four sets? I've seen both used in photos online.
How many braces? TubaHT LP, 36".

Re: How many braces? TubaHT LP, 36".
Welcome to the forum. I'm Seth.
I would personally choose four between panels 9 & 4, three between panels 4 & 7, four between panels 7 & 1, and flip a coin for mouth braces. Heads three, tails four.
By the looks of the photo, it's a little too late to ask, isn't it? Or, is that not yours? Looking pretty good either way

Thanks, Seth.
That is a photo that I found online. My panels are all cut, and I'm a couple of days away from starting assembly.
I had a similar thought as your suggestion. I appreciate your input.

You can't have too many braces. You can have too few.
