Looking good. What's a rough estimate on the cubic feet?

 

[mattmcss 10+ year member]

i'm thinking roughly 3 cubes total , maybe a little less but i can make up with that for more power , i'm still undecided on the sub amp yet

im sure someones going to say something about the particle board, but w/ all the resin etc...you'll be fine. and have a few extra bucks in your pocket

thanks for the coments guys , i did have one problem with the resin soaking all the way to the wood around the rings , i think once i cut out the fleece i'm going to run some resin and than maybe some silicone caukiing in there to seal er up , what do ya think ?

anybody ? sould i run a bead of silicone around the edges on the inside to better seal it once its all dried up ? i dont think it soaked all the way into the wood on some edges =(

The flat part has like 3 coats of glass on it and it still flexes a little , i plan on doing many many more coats on the flat part and get it until where it doesnt flex anymore.

just add some more resin in the areas that look thin or not as soaky.
