Fiberglass ported vs wood ported

I just need some info, im trying to figure out if i should go with a fiberglass ported box for my MTX 7500's or just stick wit the regular ported box. Which one would sound better? Or does it really matter?

If the fiberglassing is done properly, then it will sound close to if not just as good as MDF, but the MDF would be easier to work with, and alot less messy!

As long as they're both made correctly it's not going to matter. Fiberglass enclosures are good if you want it to look cool or if you need to fit an enclosure in an unusual place, but it's not going to make a change in the sound.

as was said build either right and there will be no difference in sound. Build either wrong and they will both **** equally //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Building a ported fiberglass enclosure is going to be tricky and might not be something to get involved in. If you have someone with a Termlab meter in your area they might be able to help you with the port tuning, but trying to figure out your airspace so you can build the right port length with a custom fiberglassed enclosure is going to be hard unless you have a meter to help with the tuning.

I think fiberglass is a lot more expensive than mdf as well.

If it is your first time building a fiberglass enclosure it gets very expensive to buy everything you need to do the job.

If you are wanting to have one built email me for a quote.
