i bought some videos that really help me out. Like i did the same thing you did with the research but really didn't catch on till i saw the video. like you don't have to fiberglass to make a 3 sub box. you can use a thicker cloth than the use rage gold to give it more strength

Are you talking about a box with only fleece and no fiberglass? That would be very unadvisable.

No, he is saying use the fleece and resin, then no fiberglass mat or cloth... Xavier2k20 did you get the Select Products videos? I know Robert just uses his polycloth and resin, then does some of his spray bondo, but I would atleast have a couple layers on there, just to feel safe.

The videos are not cheap. If they were cheap they probably wouldnt show much useful information.

Nitrous is like a hot girl with an STD. You know you want to hit it, but you are scared of the consequences.
