Im deciding on keeping my slot ported MDF box or building a Fiber glass one. Is there a difference in the bass?

I don't think fiberglass can sound as good as mdf. You'd have to make sure it was thick enough so you didn't get any vibration from it. if you're looking to keep sq, stick with the mdf box. the only reason you'd want to go fiberglass is if you want something that will look really cool, or you want to build into a small corner to save space or something.

fiberglass is way harder and about 5 times more expensive, and fiberglass is usually sealed because its to hard to calculate volume to adust tuning. just do MDF

whichever is made properly.

you can go sealed out of MDF or fiberglass.

its not more expencive to go fiberglass rather then MDF. its just that shops will charge a lot more due to the extra time it takes to fiberglass up a box.

I would Make the fiberglass box myself. but I think I might just stick with a MDF box, how do I tune it for slot porting?
