Two more studies:
Wood box with a partial baffle and used ~1in think fiber glass insulation ~7db reduction

FRP panels with `2in Rockwool and no baffle ~18db

What no one seems to have done yet is study a panel box built like this:
FRP | Mass loaded vinyl | Rockwool | Metal screen (think bird screen)
And then you would also need a baffle with at least two chambers.
I built a wooden box with a two-chamber baffle for the air intake and one for the output but used a significantly lesser sound absorption product than the Rockwool and got a 5db reduction in noise.
My next project will be built using the panel design above and the baffles. Of course, I need time to do it. :)
