Don't worry about Howdy, he's like that to everyone. We just put up with
him. ;) (Hey Howdy, time to put away your 4th-of-July-Car, huh?)
Anyhoo, as far as SQ there is no difference between wood and fiberglass.
Remember, the only purpose of a box is to hold a volume of air and do it by
NOT RESONATING as resonance of the enclosure means wasted energy (it takes
energy to vibrate an enclosure, energy that would be better turned into
SOUND). The ideal enclosure would be made of granite.
Fiberglass is superior in ONE respect, however. It is far lighter than wood
and therefore it is preferable if you are into performance and wish to make
your car lighter. And with the cost of gas these day, WHO ISN'T?
