For a hard wearing finish you might want to look at truck bed liner. Never used it myself and it doesn't seem to be sold much in the UK but I have read about it being used in the US as a finish for DIY cabs.

 Also, fiberglassing/using resin on cabinets. Will this dramatically increase the weight of them? I'm considering building a backup system purely out of mdf (because I cant afford a whole new birch system again!)..
 
How about Yaght varnish? I used this once ages ago and it held up realllly well from what i can remember
guys we all know that the vanished cabs look nice with the wood finish but as for me vanish on cabs it too old skool and they can catch fire easly when worse comes to worst .coz some years back l still remember one 600watt sub catching fire after over powering it with a 10kw amp and the papercone went to flames nearly burnt the whole cab luckly we had a fire extinguisher on our gear? . as for weight you can only add something like 500gms on your cab depending on the size .only apply resin only with no fiber matting and u can use pigment for the colour of your choice

I thought of that as well but I have no idea where I can get some. I´m not based in the UK but Sweden and I´m pretty sure that that truck bed liner isn´t availiable here..

Anyways. I´ve settled for some resin. Couldn´t get hold of resin 901 bur I found something that is equal to it.

Here´s som pics of our version of the MT121. From the beginning we planned on making a version of MT122´s but we realized that there would be some hight issues and decided to build them as singles instead.

Didn´t really have time to take lots of pics. We´ve spent about 2 evenings and got one cab almost finished and all the other parts for the remaining 3 cabs.

Speedliner is the biggest name in "truck bed" liners and also stupidly expensive, my friend works with this stuff all the time in a custom car bodyshop place and even with free labour it worked out far too expensive just to do 12 punishers

thats INTERESTING Jnr not much weight difference in ply vs mdf it has allways p@@sed mi off a bit when you builds out of mdf some people just jump and asume there gonna be heavyConfused

ply ent exactly light weight..

Very nice build btw..cool Thumbs Up

great work fella...

not sure on the weights shown, the mdf sheets i use are a lot heavier than birch ply.... i can chuck a full sheet of birch ply around on my own with ease........ a full sheet of mdf gets me sweating a bit...... give then 3 coats of waterproof pva before you spray them this helps keep them dry. I would all so undercoat them with a 2part filler primer......

keep up the good work.....
