    being that the finish is on the outside, I dont see how this is a concern. I have heard concerns about not letting the caulk completly cure before bolting in the subs. A chemical that is released in the curing process was thought to attack the foam surrounds when trapped inside sealed enclosures.

    i think its better safe than sorry---fresh bed liner has a really strong smell for a really long time, much more than chaulking, and although it nots trapped inside, i think itd still be of concern

    i've seen it done quite a few times. i even did mine, but i had to. cut through. you can even get the gun and shoot it on. the gun only cost me $50, and i can shoot sound deadener with it too. look in my gallery for a couple pics. i think the spray look will be much better that a roll on look.

    Re: box finish?

    My son and I will be building a sub box for his Jimmy and I am thinking about having both the inside and outside sprayed with some type of Rhino-liner type of product; both to finish the outside and to help seal the inside. Other than allowing adequate drying/ventilation time, does this seem like a good approach? Sorry for re-directing the thread a bit.

    Some friends of mine used the roll-on stuff to cover some boxes that I made for their boat. I didn't like the way the roll-on stuff looked after it dried. It looked clumpy. I'm considering getting my box professionally sprayed w/ Line-X, and I've been quoted $50-100.

    So the others would know whether it was roll-on or spray-on.

    id be weary of spraying on the inside
    i would just stick to good ol' chaukling...easier, less time, just as good, cheaper, and might save the subs

    I did my box inside and out with rattle cans of rubberized spray undercoating. It wont win any best of show's or anything, but it looks decent and sounds good.
