Hi, Ive made myself a sub box and I am wanting to fibreglass it and give it a good shiney finish.
What would be the best way to go about doing this, would I just need to completely coat the box in fibreglass and smooth it down, or would I need to filler over it also? and help would be greatly appreciated.

Why in gods name would you want to do that? I take it you're going to paint it right?
If you made it from MDF then just sand everything down smooth and put a little bit of filler over any screw holes so they are hidden. Then you just need to seal the MDF with some emulsion paint or some PVA (wood) glue mixed half and half with water. Then just primer up and spray as normal.
There is no point in covering it in about 10 onnes f fibreglas for no reason. All it will do is crack and fall off!
