i don't think that 6 layers would be enough, considering the size of the box and the number of woofers sharing the chamber.

I would go 10. Stand on it and shift your weight and make sure it doesnt flex AT ALL and if it does add more. But so for it looks great. what color are u gona make it and whats goin in it? Cant wait to see the final result

dream it, build it, fiberglass it

and, it doesnt seem to have any internal bracing to aid in the rigidity, thats why id put more layers.

but still a nice first box!!!

ill have pics of my first project kickpanels in progress soon!
