Hey, thanks for the info vapo .. I think it would be cool if I used those port tubes. the only problem would be geting them large enough .. 10"sq. x 16" long - 8 sq. in. is easy, thats just about two 4" round ports per speaker .. but do they make them 16" long. Oh well, I guess i could use some PVC to make them longer.

Just a little warning for anyone attempting this project.

I've been working on my box for a while and i kept wondering why i was getting sick all the time. Turns out my respirator didn't filter out "organice vapors". When you buy your mask, make sure to get the one you get does.

My mask seems to work fine can still smell some of the resin vapors but not as bad if I did not have one on.. OH I had to make my box smaller to big for speaker plus once it was all together it didn't fit anymore so trimed about 6in off one end now have to reglass and finish it again... Man a wood box would have been much easier and cheaper but not as much fun to make...

I'm sort of discouraged at the moment. My 5th layer of fiberglass bubbled up for some reason (others where fine). I'm trying to decide if i want to continue or not.

Thats enough mine is only three and I tried it out it sounded good but I felt it was just a little big thats why I cut it to make it smaller....I wouldn't bother with putting more layers on it....

I got my trunk layed out and I'm ready to start the bottom layer .. i'm just wondering how much time It will take. When I get home from work I figured it would be a good time to work on it, I just don't want to be up until 1:00 in the morning waiting for it to dry.

Just wondering, where did you pickup your supplies from? Also, did you use a mesh or a weave for the fiberglass?

I'd say estimate about 30-45 minutes a layer (maybe more for your first one). I heard you can put down more layers without letting the ones below it fully dry. What i've been doing is when i come home (around 7PM), putting down one layer a night (when i had time). Slow but works.

Home Depot but I should have tried to get it a boat supply store/marinia or something like that I used the weave not sure what the difference in finished product would be. Mesh seems like it would be smoother.
