actually an interesting idea. I might look into this. Hopefully working on port fitting tomorrow.for the ports you can just get some 22 degree angled pipe fittings...

or 45 which ever works best lol
it's certainly a major portion - i've used about 8 gallons of glass //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif It does get fairly stiff and it requries less thickness and weight to be the same stiffness as MDF. It's not great in large flat areas but it's very stiff in curves. However, i'm also going to brace the snot of out everything with dowels and such. Pictures of this to come later on this week. Also, if I remember, i'll try to take a picture of a cross section of my mold for you so you can see how this it is.Good stuff. Will the fiberglass by itself be durable or pressed up against the trunk enough to not resonate, or will you further brace the entire enclosure? I have never really worked with glass so I am unfamiliar with how rigid it gets and how you could got about bracing it, threaded rods and bolts maybe? Eleven cubes also seems large to have a major portion of the enclosure made out of glass.
oh, and everything is pressed up against the trunk walls as well. How much this will help, i have no idea.
