As yuli said double baffle, make the inside smoother, make all your bracing as small as you can and rounded. (threaded rod works or wooden dowels). Just do a bit more reading but its really not a bad first box.
alright yuli since noone wants to play. Im down.
Caulking vs resin. Im not going to argue that too much i think you are right in alot of ways ive seen alot of "big names" (no im not mentioning them u know wtf i mean) use caulking because its better then nothing and cheaper then resin..however if your not worrying about 10th's of dbs the extra bit gained from the caulking shouldn't matter. good call.
However the double baffle....yet again this man obviously isnt worried about gaining every bit he can. The baffle will not break and even the amount of flex might not even do much in this case if he were 2 double up on the baffles.
I know your just havin fun but comeon at least nit pick the important things like the lack of duct tape around his subs
did you ever end up selling the rex?

You mean no harm, so why get all pissed? You also normally do offer advice and its always proved to be good from what ive seen.
I wish you had sold it already. Now i have to try and convince myself not to buy it. I need a new vehicle come summer either a daily driver so i can destory my van or truck\van to destroy...hummm a rex...humm...

Gotta agree with you there man. LOL Never liked Sorry
I mean Sony sucks, Go JL 
So is the big deal about resin to 'seal' up the MDF so air isn't leaking through the wood? Resin sticks to wood just fine, but I've seen resin flake off. Never seen that happen with caulking. Never seen it peel off on it's own either using it as a seam sealer. I imagine somebody somewhere found a fraction of a DB improvement by using resin (although if a sensor can read fractions of DB's how much variance is there in the exact same system doing back to back runs? Has to be some) but for the purposes of the box you built Equnoxe, the caulking is great.
