Cuseikan Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 There's actually a few questions in this thread. 1) How thick dose fiber glass have to be to equal 3/4" MDF. 2) What if you put a layer of brass mesh between the layers, would it make a diff?

You make fiberglass as thick as you want it to be...I'd say for a subwoofer enclosure made completely from fiberglass a good 8 layers or so is as strong or stronger than 3/4 MDF.

Cuseikan Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 So 8 layers dosen't have a certain thickness? Or dose It depend on how much resin I use? Also how about that brass mesh thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andym85 Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 thickness depends on the size of the mat you are using and how much resin you apply...and i can't see that brass mesh hurting anything...i would assume it would add some structural integrity to things. i likes me some audio stuff...

I was acutally was going to form the box with the mesh in glass from there. I think the brass would give me peace of mind. Actually I have an ald box I was going to take the top off of then form the brass mesh to the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
