lmao at the remark about the beanbag game sprahl85!!!hahaha

well...the wood says it's "medium density project board" on the rack at lowes, BUT they also have another kind of project board and it's alot smoother than what i have and cost about $7 more per sheet...so i guess thats what i need from now own.

the fg isnt really doing anything on the box except creating a curved look..it isnt supporting any load at all, the speakers mount directly to the face of the MDF, the glass where the speakers are mounted is actually layed out smooth across the wood and it curves upward as it goes out toward the edges of the box(really hard to explain..sorry)

but anyways, i didnt scrap the whole project...i did go out there with a gringer and cut the glassed part out and started resanding it so i can try it the way you guys are telling to...Im going to get the right materials this time too...lol, no more polyester or whatever i used

"visionsss" this is part 1 of a 2 boxes im going to put in a 97' chevy 3500 crewcab dually...i wanted to make it 1 single box but there isnt any way i could fit it through the doors.

thanks for all of the advice guys, if i get stuck again, i'll call upon you all again for more advise.

laterz,

We see now. That explains the oval shape around the holes. Well it seems that you have all the answers you are looking for (for now). Since the glass area isn't supporting a load, We would just lay a layer or two of mat and resin it to give it a bit more strength for any extra vibration. (you never know) and we understand the construction now. you built the box and extended the walls of it to create the curve, correct?
