How to get the smell of MDF out
I finally put in my new box, and now the smell of MDF has overtaken the car! The Pioneers finally pound like they're supposed to!
:rockon:
I'd post pics of it, but I'll put carpet on the top before I post pics.

If you silicone the box, you'll never notice the MDF smell again. The silicone smell will be much, much stronger.

Yep. I'm kind of patient at times. This time I let the box sit for a week to let the silicone cure. Smell is pretty much gone.

Hmm, I think I can put my car cover on, and then crack the windows a lil bit. Let's see, I put the box in on Monday, by the weekend it should smell better. Would you guys be willing to go out right now @ 10:30 PM to go cover your car?? I LOVE MY CAR THAT MUCH!! HAHA

It's been a few weeks now, and the smell will NOT go away. Should I remove the box and air it out? It's gettin to me. I open the car and a whiff of MDF just comes out. And MDF mixed w/ new car scent doesn't really smell that good....
