[QUOTE="fbi90909, post: 4116601, member: 568679"] true about the layers depending on subs. i threw that number out cause of me running my XXX. though my enclosure has about 16-18 layers of matt + cloth feel it's still a bit hollow. it sounds good don't get me wrong but for high powered applications i'd chose MDF. the thing i was trying to express was lets say if you took a 10" 500w sub. placed it in it's proper sized sealed enclosure made of MDF i feel that the sound waves would come from where they need to come from. the front of the box where the speaker is producing the waves. now take the same speaker and create a 100% FG enclosure(with the exception of a mounting ring) of the same size sealed as you would reccomended with3-4 layers. now the enclosure may be strong enough to prevent flexing but it's just not thick/dense enough and would allow the audible waves inside the box to escape all around it. now i probraly am making no sense. this is just an oopinion i feel about one of the diferences about the FG and MDF. as for why competitors still use FG, i don't know. i have never heard of a competitors system so i can't say. though really i suppose for everyone is what works for them, works for them.
