Did I lay fiberglass wrong or just simply not layer enough

[QUOTE="04silverz, post: 7288960, member: 566113"] Started work on my new box which will have a fiberglass bottom. Dimensions are roughly 26L x 16D. I did three layers yesterday afternoon and when it cured it seemed really flimsy. I've glassed door pods before and tweeter pods but never a box so I have no experience doing such a large piece and am curious if I just simply need more layers or did I lay the glass wrong. From the research I did I've gathered that there is no magic number of layers as it is all install dependent for layering. But before I go and potentially waste more time and money on another package or two of fiberglass I figured I'd ask here first. With the other stuff I've done I cut the mat into strips or squares as it required lots of shaping but with this being just a giant rectangle I just cut three big pieces and laid them on top of each other. Box is going to be for 2 Boston SPG555 powered by Orion 2500D and the only part that is fiberglass will be the bottom. Also is going to be a sealed box. [COLOR=blue][SIZE=10px]So to sum up do I need more than three layers or was I supposed to cut into small strips?[/SIZE][/COLOR][SIZE=10px][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
