[QUOTE="xxBURT0Nxx, post: 3946035, member: 584977"] I've been thinking about starting on a fiberglass enclosure and have been doing research, however I have a few questions still. 1. Does outside temperature matter when fiberglassing. It's like 40-50 degrees right now and I'm not sure if it really matters how cold it is. Will the fiberglass just take longer to set? 2. When supporting the MDF rings with dowels how secure should those dowels be? Does it need to be able to support the ring if a sub where in it, or is it just to hold the ring in place until the fiberglass cures? 3. This one is kind of hard to explain, but it might make more sense if you look at this picture: [URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23046174@N08/2203591837/"] [IMG]https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2327/2203591837_0c665fe082_z.jpg?zz=1[/IMG][/URL] Basically the shape in the back would be a center divider and the box sticking out is the port. My question is once the enclosure is wrapped in fiberglass, do the areas in red need to be sealed off so air isn't going into the closed off chambers, or is it alright? [/QUOTE]
