[QUOTE="Old_Slapper, post: 8868170, member: 690458"] I performed the same tests. You also want to look at expansion. If your box expands, while the sub is moving, then that will affect your bass. Foam and fiberglass have been used in many things to make items lighter. However, it isn't really strong. Take a surfboard, for example. very light, but I wouldn't recommend standing on it with the center not being supported. However, if you don't mind making the walls 2 inches thick and you're not running a high-powered sub, then foam and fiberglass will work. For the baffle, I would use something solid, like just fiberglass or wood, without the foam. Overall, go with carbon fiber. It would weigh the same, be much stronger, and much smaller. [/QUOTE]
