Can someone explain "Glassing" to me?

I've seen tons of people talk about "glassing" their box, i'm assuming its just making it stronger because they just do it to the joints and where the wood comes together, i'm just curious as to what the hell you're talking about...

ALSO

Lets say I build a ported box with 2 aero ports, to tune it to 35 hz the ports need to be 20 inches long, but you only have....lets say 8 inch long ports...will this mean the box will sound like crap? I've always had the hardest time tuning a box correctly because its not long enough to fit ports in it. like this build

that can't possibly be tuned correctly(no offense Rashadd) this just doesn't make sense to me...

glassing=fiberglassing. and theres no reason y that box couldnt b tuned right

If the port is shorter that means it is going to be tuned higher. Just remember that a 10" long 6" aero will be tuned really high in a 1 cube box and will be tuned really low in a 10 cube box.

three 6" ports in 8 cubes would only have to be about 18 inches long each. That box is 22" deep. It all works out.
