The mold was basically the entire box except a MDF top baffle. After the fiberglassed cured, I removed the mold from the car and used a good ol' 5 gallon bucket and started pouring in the water. Did a little math a got a damn good estimate.
Well dang, 52.3 gallons back there is a lot of volume. After pouring about 10 and a half 5 gallon buckets into it you didn't get the itch to just try and finish it to get a big ported enclosure? I mean, to get that much water in their you must have had it mostly finished at that point or am I off?

No. I wouldn't even say I was half way. I still had to make the MDF baffle for the woofers to mount on and then glass the mold and baffle together.....but even worse I had to figured out a way to squeeze in a massive port. Can't remember the exact measurements off the top of my head, but I think it was like 6"X15"X 38". Where am I gonna fit that big of port with out basically dividing the box in two with the port?
