I'm goig to make 2 fiberglass boxes for each of my 12's when Ig et em. that why if I have a flat it'll be easy to get out. I'll probaly do 4 layers or so of fiberglass. and nothing else, that'll save alot on weight.

Tyler, I've heard of something called "Ultra light MDF". I was looking one day on Carsound's message board, and stumbled upon it. Apparently, it weighs less than 1/2 that of regular MDF.
Check it out. BTW, what "small town BC " are you from?
Regards,
Jeff
