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.

what did u build it out of? what was under the rhino lining.?

Plus building 2 more pods with 2 6.5s and 2 horns in each one. by the time im done i will have less in it than one wetsound pro 485.

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.

Is that an oven in your garage? That's gotta be pretty handy!

[Kracker]

yea its our old oven. electricity is included in my rent, so i use it as a heater. keeps my 30x30 shop pretty toasty.
