[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7830317, member: 576029"] what glassing inside the box does is help keep tuning true. MDF is porus. resin alone isn't going to increase strength, just seal it. fiberglass mat + resin on the seams will increase strength. typically, good wood glue/clamping + internal bracing on any surface longer than 12" or so is sufficient. 3/4" dowel rods or 1"x1" is fine. even ripping some strips of MDF. how much bracing really depends on the design of the box. i do a double-layer front baffle, and i sometimes recess the driver by making the outer layer opening larger. i also use t-nuts to mount the driver. i don't use any wood screws anywhere.
