question on finishing

[redstopgreengo]

long time reader first post. started building the statement series for theater use. never built before and has been fun and enjoyable for far.
so for finishing i had considered wrapping in carbon fiber. the real stuff not 3m di-noc. would the lyers of resin have any effect on the sound of the cabinets? thanks for any help

Applying a very strong shell to your cabinets will make the cabinets much stiffer. I can only think it will be beneficial to reduce cabinet resonances.

Might be similar to when one "veneers" a cabinet with high pressure laminate (formica), it does deaden the enclosure walls significantly. Of course, it would also be possible to just use a very thin layer/skin, and that might not have much impact- but it certainly won't hurt anything.
