The outside will be ok. But from what I've heard. Don't do the inside. It makes the inside of the box more reflective to bass. And if you don't know what that means. You get an echo. It will make you SQ go to shit.

the bedliner wouldnt make a huge difference

I have all my boxes Vortex bed liner sprayed. Its doesn’t affect dB or sound unless that 0.1dB matters to you :rolleyes:

EDIT: inside AND out!

boo this man, lol

u have no idea what ur talking about

bedliner/resin/paint adds mass to the wood which raises the resonance of the wood far outside of the subbass range

any ported enclosure echos, duh... ur trying to reflect the rear wave of the speaker out of the port... so it will echo

an SQ guy wouldnt have a ported box anyways... he would have a sealed box with polyfill... so ur point is invalid

the only reason most dont do bedliner inside and out is to save cost by leaving the inside bare

screws sticking out 2+ inches would make a bigger difference, lol

interested .... well i might do it then or maybe even that hammered metal finish... only reason id do it inside the actual box is because through the port you can seee a lot of the box .. so id at least have to do that and on top of my ocd i would have to just finish the hole inside lol

good info thanks ever one!

Haha. I was wondering if anyone was going to argue with me on that statement or not. Quite a few ppl caught it. At least I know what ppl know what they are talking about.

my plan was to do my boxes inside and out.... same with my buddies... id rather loose a few tenths then spend hours sanding fiberglass... simplicity is key... and having my friends dad come out and spray everything down with bedliner is really simple to me ;)

plus personally i see it adding benefits... its water/moisture proof... its gonna seal it up tight and it looks pretty darn good...

Full eclipse system is next on list.. soon to gut and redo the honda as new project/rolling buissness card :)

i miss the sound of those old school strokers on beast amps :(
