cause the 50yd roll of chop strand was only $10 more than the 20yd roll, i'll use a fair amount on the 2 enclosures and the amp rack. besides, i do freelance custom fiberglass work, so it'll definately get used. besides, i'll probably be making 95% of the box out of fiberglass. the only time i ever see people use fleece is to make the skin of the box, you stretch it over the ring to make the actual contours of the box. the problem with fleece is that its rather thin, and is very prone to sagging. you're better off using a polyester fabric to make the skin, it absorbs the resin better, won't sag as bad, and is quite a bit cheaper. that, and you can get polyester based fabrics up to 1/4'' thick, making for an extremely sturdy base to mount the fiberglass to.
