    Your Kreg jig work has inspired me. I will now decide to build in the trunk and make a massive port ;)

    Question?


    Are you using fibreglass matt wiith the resin? I dont see it in the pics....

    You MUST use glass mattte to have any strength......

    I used mat on the corners and on the 45 in the port, then just resin for the back and top.

    Does the resin let the air flow better?

    Idk exactly what it does but its something about the mdf soaks it up so it dont absorb the sound waves.

    The front baffle is painted. Tomorrow, i will put the front baffle on, put some more resin on the port, paint it black, and start hooking up amps. Hopefully tuesday night or wednesday, it should be making some noise. :) :)
