Can you get away with thinner walls using this material? Awesome box, so normally a wooden box would be 5/8″ or 3/4″ mdf all around, but on these how thick do you build up the fiber/bondo?

So, I take it the ports enhe the sound? Can a box still work without them? I'm trying to learn about custom audio, it's one of those things i'm clueless about but curious to learn. Ah, I see.

If you listen to death metal it will help them to not "bottom out" because of the constant bass. None ported could be good for rap or music thats not as upbeat. it also depends on airspace where you have them placed. Just keep messing with things and you will find different things out. It will not hurt if they do not have ports. You just might not be able to crank it as loud. Yeah. it is tuff, some speakers its good with and some its not.

I own a shop in tennessee and most of the time i put the actual fiberglass on the inside of the box so i can do the bodywork with fillers on the outside for me it seems like less work that way and i use alot of hot glue to support my ring before i use the mold cloth it works great and comes out easy when done but nice work Nice work guy.
