    My first box was very similar. Worked well for about 5 years and then the moisture crept in through the holes I drilled for the clamps. It rotted out very quickly once that happened.

    And mine was rhino-lined on the exterior and I silicone caulked around all of the clamp holes. Not exactly sure how the water started coming in but the clamp mounts and speaker mounts turned to dust.

    Mine was the same as yours. MDF front face and ribs. Covered with fleece and then fiberglassed. Bondo'd the bad areas and then rhino-lined. Mine was also stored outside. I'm sure it would have last far longer if I had stored it inside.
