What can I use to cover my speaker box?

How many layers of fiberglass do I need for speaker box?

I recommend that you do 2 layers, and crisscross them to ensure you don't get resin seeping through. Resin will not come off of metal, clothes, carpet, or your dog, so be careful. Extend the tape layer a few (3-4) inches past where your box will go, and also glass out a few inches past that (but within the tapes area).

If the box is too small (by a reasonable amount) add power. It will help the driver overcome the lack of volume present to still belt out that bass! ... If the port becomes too small, it may result in port noise, or allow the woofer to simply unload.

Sealed enclosures reproduce the low frequencies more accurately than ported enclosures because the air inside the box acts like a shock absorber, allowing the subwoofer to move back and forth in more control.
