Actually....... it's been proven many times that resin in your box WILL increase your spl. (most of the time)

resin

thats right meters dont lie : so here is my input to this topic .
I have tried fiberglass strands = increased in SPL
I did resin inside the box = Lost SPL
but it made a great seal inside so u know what happend i left it out side and it rained for a couple of days. So i remembered that i had the box outside and wanted to bring it in when i looked at it i was surprised i saw a pool of water the box acted like a bucket , the outside of my box had resin on the surface so it stayed dry also.
In the world of SPL its trial and error so many boxs i built loss with resin and few gained
Have fun and C ya

Thats good, so if your really into SPL, you could go the extra mile, and fiberglass your corners!
