I just need to know what kind of fabric i need to cover my fb enclusure with, I have the mold out, and the two rings mounted with the 2x4, i just need to cover it. I've heard that fleece is what most use, but is there any type of special kind i should get so it stretches perfectly?

Also, is 2 layers, and tons of resin enough for the mold? I'm dropping in a 12" rockford p3.

Thanks guys.

You can use any stretchy fabric. All you should need for the "mold" is one layer. After that the rest of the layers should be fiberglass mat or cloth.

Just ask for `sweatshirt fleece`. Thats what I use and its great..stretches well and soaks up alot of resin.

Yeah just general fleece works. Cheap and effective.

Ok, I need some advice. I have two 12" Rockford punch stage 3's, 1000 watts max, 500 RMS. Powering both of those is 1 Kicker DX700. What would be louder? Hooking up the kicker to both of the subs, or just using the whole amp to power one of the punchs? I almost have my box done, its for one sub, and im wondering if i want to built another for the other sub, or if i should wait until i get another Kicker DX700. Any ideas?

Thanks guys

Run one sub in two ohms. One sub for one amp. Those P3 can handle 700 watts. Make sure gain is properly set though. So wait for the other DX700. Then push both amps and both subs. Rock it.
