Alright 1 gallon of resin and probably half my roll of mat later here we are... 2 real nice layers of glass and probably 3-4 coats of just resin.
i hope this bitch is stiff as **** tomarow morning... or atleast good enough to pop out.

What's the purpose of what? 'Glassing the well in general, or adding more layers? He's building a custom sub/amp enclosure, only way to go IMO. Fiberglass is way lighter than a wood box, and it's the only way to do complex shapes. Additional layers are for strength.
Great job btw, though you may want to add some cross-bracing in the middle and maybe another layer or two on the flat spots. What's going in that thing?
