[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 2205497, member: 550915"] Sure, after it's built. Doesn't do you much good if you wanted 2 cf but you find out after it's built that it's only 1.6. If there are compound and complex curves involved, you aren't "calculating anything. You can only build it and measure what you have. If it won't work for what your sub needs to sound right, into the trash it goes. There's a reason that most pure fiberglass enclosures are sealed. Much more forgiving. If you want to make a fiberglass baffle because you want a nicely curved surface, it's usually easier and stronger to build the mounting ring for the sub out from the flat wood baffle with wood and then make a vanity panel from 'glass. The panel doesn't have to support any weight and is much cheaper and easier to build. Stretch your base material over it, resin it, lay a single layer of glass mat for a bit of strength and then fill and smooth it for finishing. [/QUOTE]
