Hi Jag,

OK, that makes sense...'slightly' gas permeable.

They're sealed enclosures so I'll use the laquer or I already have an unopened / old can of fiberglass resin and hardener just sittin' about that I may still use...not sure yet...still have a few days to make up my mind.

Interesting...the inside corners...the 3-way corners (ie top, side, back)or the 2 way corners (top, back), or all of the above?

I have already have Parts Express "Sonic Barrier 3/4" 3-layer composite damping material" (linked below) that may (?) fit the bill. If I used this stuff, should it be 1) triangular in shape and pushed tight into the 3-way corners, or 2) two inch strips following the 2-way corners? I have not read of this technique before, do you happen to have a link that may provide me with some more info? Or maybe a link to the material you're referring to would be great too!

I'll definitely consider the removable back, but am leaning towards gluein' & screwin' it as well. My hope is to have the cabinet super-solid...I've found that different portions of the cabinet sound different (to arap of the knuckles) when screwed-on only vs. being glued (or glued and screwed)...or is this some sort of psyco-somatic/biased perception of mine? Regardless, I am building the crossovers in an external box, so my thought at this point is that if I really build the cabinet "right" (or as right as reasonably possible) I should not have to worry terribly about getting back inside (sounds like some famous last words, eh!?!?)

Granted this is my first time constructing a pair of speaks, so I'd love to hear any thoughts or rebuttals to my thought process.

Thanks for passing on your knowledge!

Regards,

Doug
