yeah the weight of the mat will determin how thick to make it. I wold actually use a mat/weave combination myself. it is about 22oz and 3-4 layers of that is pretty good though the thicker you go the better is your doing SPL.

I tend to use 15-17oz. Biaxial stitched mats for sub enclosure reinforcement . Three layers and you can park a buick on it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

so basically the heavier the mat the less layers you have to lay down?? Im still gonna do about 9-11 layers cause i want it as strong as can be.

Pretty much. As long as you switch the bias with every successive layer and work out air bubbles, you can use what you want. The enclosure is gonna need to be the same thickness to prevent flexing , and resonating regardless of mat weight. Just the heavier weight stuff takes a lot less layers to achieve it. Won't be much savings in resin, as heavier mat will soak up more resin than the lighter weight stuff. I usually don't count the layers myself . I don't care how many it takes me to achieve the stiffness I want . As long as I get it right //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
