actually, for strength AND longevity, glassing the inside does help a LOT. I believe in a strong box. Also, using glass allows you to use a thinner MDF board. 3/4" with a few layers of 19oz (or better) fiberglass on the inside will be stronger then any 1" MDF box for sure, AND it seals it very nicely. Plus, its pretty easy. You dont have to be fancy when doing structural glassing :)

I don't know how overbuilding your box and making it the best it can be is a new "fad". It should be anyones goal. Even if its just crazy bracing, the ultimate goal is to make it extremely strong and durable.

Because everyone seems to think that resin alone is what does it. You'd be amazed at how many people do not realize that mat is what gives it strength

if your box falls apart in your setup, you didnt build it well. you dont need fiberglass. ive had boxes made with only glue and brad nails take 12k watts. never had a box fall apart.

If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

This. Don't need to glass a box inside if braced properly... Shit, my Zv2 is on close to 3k in a single baffle box, proper bracing in the right places and no issues, no flex, no nothing.

'Glassing can help for sure, but it isnt mandatory.

This. Making your box as strong as it can be is not new, but glassing as the end all solution is. Besides sealing and decreasing port noise, never used glass to make my boxes strong. Proper bracing and building correctly is key.

And let's face it...how much power is OP even really talking about? There is definitely a point where overkill exceeds efficiency and purpose.

Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?
