Alright i am new to the forum, but been reading for 2 days on every web site i can find about fiberglassing and i have it down. But in all the threads the boxes that are made are framed in mdf. I was wandering if that was necessary to do so, b/c i have a mdf box already and its hella heavy. I want a box that is lightwieght. So i can remove it without giving myself a hyrneia. Anyway i made a box outa cardboard and was think of just outlining it in fleece and going from there. Would that be strong enough to work, or would it crack, bc i would be pissed it i put alot of work into something that didnt work, thanks for any replies in advance.

No i would not use cardboard, Make a mold out fiberglass and the normal make a speaker ring,wrap in fleece, and glass method.

The problem with using cardboard and fleece is that fiberglass isn't strong in large flat areas. It needs to be curved to have strength. You could use 5/8 mdf and glass the interior to give it strength. Or you could get a bass tube.
