im going to start my glass box soon, i have one 9 squre feet matt of glass, my sub is about 27lbs and is going to be mounted on an angle, 5 layers would that be good? im using as much wood as possible because i know it will be hard to glass the little part that i want. how do i test how strong the glass is?

(fiberglass)

I cant tell you how many layers to do but 5 should suffice. Just remember, fiberglass is hella stronger when it isnt curved. If you are making it flat, use a lot of layers and supports.

fiberglassforums.com is a great place to look for info. Some of those guys are really good at glassing

Yes they are good! a lot of them have been doing glass as long or longer than I have. Chad did some good pod's, the other day!! search for his thread! 40% of the 90 model's chevy ex-cab box is glass! I use a cr@p load of fabric and resin!! You can see some of it on my myspace!! You can make anything with Glass!!!!!
