Any particular reason you used fiberglass insulation inside the cabinet instead of polyfill or some other material? I'm not sure which is best, but I would like to avoid fiberglass if I can help it.
Congrats on your decision! Those RLP18's are definitely awesome and somehow I don't think you'll miss your deftechs. I was a bit concerned about using fiberglass insulation as well. I thought maybe fine particles would fly out of the port and that it may not perform as well as other materials. When budget and accessibility became a factor I decided to use some R-13 and have not been sorry. It's easy to find, cheap, easy to install and it's actually a great sound absorber. In fact when people soundproof rooms they often use double thick walls with more insulation. I've never noticed any dust or particles flying out of my tubes and I couldn't be happier with the sound. Good luck with the build and keep us informed!
