[QUOTE="gunny86, post: 666210, member: 544625"] Applying resin to the inside of any enclosure will help, it will make a better air tight seal (plus add strength and other factors, etc) which mdf can not make. Yes the difference between resin or not is small, but if you want to prove it to yourself take 2 pieces of 3/4 mdf put one on top of the other and then take your shop vac hose and put it on the top of the first piece of mdf, now lift up on the hose and both pieces will come off the ground and be stuck together. Air can be pushed and pulled though mdf, this means sealing off the entire internal surface of your enclosure (coating with resin) will make a difference, ESPECIALLY in "sealed" enclosures, and enclosures with a powerful driver that can move alot of air. So the more sealed your enclosure is the better your driver is going to work with it, ect. right? So that means that yes you could possibly get a higher TL score with a true air tight "SEALED" box.
