Be sure to hit the sono tube with some fiberglass mat (.75 oz should be good). Give it some rigidity

Yeee sounds good. It doesn't need a load of layers. 2 should do the trick. I just know you wont want that piece flexing inside the enclosure and giving you a ton of port noise

How big was it? This is 12.5" which is huge. It will flex. Might not see it, but you'll hear it.

I had this issue with an 8.5" one once. Anything below 45hz made it flex and sounded shitty
