Do any of you do this? what do you use, a spray deadener or just fill it with resin, I want to eliminate any vibration and possible small leaks, any thoughts fir the glass box, i had posted pics earlier

resin in the corners, then I don't know if it is really necessary, but a layer or two of liquid sound deadener would be noice.

Fill it with water ... it won't hurt it. Mark your leaks with a pen or something else and go back and patch them up.

If the enclosure is of adequate thickness, it should be fine. Don't know if you did any bracing inside or not.

I'd paint that box to look like an eye //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

oh there is plenty of braces. I made ribs (6) the outermost two were solid triangular to create a better seal rather than going to points. from the side the back mdf is set at around 65-70 degrees. I can stand on it (120lbs) and it doesnt even make a creak, Im not too worried about how rigid it is. I think it could stand a really big fall. the shell has 5 layers of strpped woven glass mat. Im sanding it and bondoing it now. Im getting it painted the subaru blue i got my body painted to match it up. should look blingin. I thought about the eye thing, after i made the box haha i looked at it with the aw1200q in it haha the sub looks like a iris hahahaa
