Nice legend... its good to see fellow legend owners into audio... nice box too. Is it an auto or 6 speed?

Anyway... about resin.. So its used kind of like clay to shape and mold areas on your box? Does it affect performance of the sub at all?

when oil goes up, so does gas and resin man //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

resin has oil in it.

friend of the family has a plastic moulding machine, and when the gas started going up just around the hurrican that hit New Orleans, there resin started going up..

so thank the oil companies //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

its a very thick liquid that hardens..so you basically just lean the box to get it to dry in the shape you want..if that makes any sense //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

sometimes it makes a pretty good difference in your score, sometimes it hurts the performance..99% of the time it raised the peak of the box, which really isnt great for a daily driver application

seals it up and makes it smoother..

Thats it? So isn't using silicone just that much easier?

kinda hard to coat the whole inside of the box with silicone caulk...you brush the resin on.

I thought you just had to seal the seams...

you're correct..but the resin smooths the whole inside out

resin is a petrochemical.. gas is going up, resin is going up.

Does this just help with overall air flow? Make it louder? What?
