Kevin M Posted February 13, 2012 Report Posted February 13, 2012 Like it says I have this idea and I need a little help on the fabrication side of it. Below is a picture of my rear doors. I used some material and stapled it to the wall and glassed it effectively sealing the sides of the wall. Once I add a couple more layers glass and matte I can sand it and cover it with carpet.. While I was thinking about that I figured wouldn't it be sick to have a piece of 1" lexan on either side of the wall that allowed you to not only see the subs but through to the other side of the wall. I hope that makes sense. The lexan itself is pretty cheap. I planned on using a piece 8x12. The whole project will cost maybe 50 bux. If I use a level and measure the cuts right it should be identical on both sides. The plan it to take a 7x11 piece on either side out of the wall. Build a mdf trim baffle that will house the lexan and use modeling clay and fiberglass to finish it.Then I can paint a 1" strip around the lexan and use gasket tape around those edges. Is there a stronger clear plastic? Will 3/4" be enough? Any help is helpful lol. Does this sound like a crazy idea? Quote 2005 Ford Focus zx4 AMT's and Planars 18" Infinite baffle
SnowDrifter Posted February 13, 2012 Report Posted February 13, 2012 3/4 should be plenty thick for what you want to do. I'm interested to see how it turns out Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
CJSmith Posted February 13, 2012 Report Posted February 13, 2012 Sounds good. You should also do LED's FTW! Quote *Rebuid in progress*
RCP Audio Posted February 13, 2012 Report Posted February 13, 2012 Should be think enough for sure. just make sure its secured tightly. and LED's FTW Quote PSN: Rcp_soundz Good rule of thump is go by what fuse size is being used in these amps. The higher the more amperage it pulls, this is what I look at. I'll stick a 300 amp fuse in a potato and sell it to you for $2k. 1991 Mazda 323VERY small build thread here: http://www.stevemead...23-small-build/

Kevin M Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) Thx for the responses guys. I knew it was something I had to try. I got two 9x12 pieces. It was around 44 bux with shipping. Soon as we get some weather in the 50's it's going down. lol maybe 60. You guys will have to help me on the led thing. I want to find a way to have the led's pulse to the music. Is there any way to do it? Edited February 14, 2012 by TheScottishBear Quote 2005 Ford Focus zx4 AMT's and Planars 18" Infinite baffle
Colin - STAPUFT Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 Wow... that's a good price. That's what I get for even looking at PLEXI in a box store.

OrangeJuiced Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 Soon as we get some weather in the 50's it's going down. lol maybe 60. You guys will have to help me on the led thing. I want to find a way to have the led's pulse to the music. Is there any way to do it? I am also trying to create an led system that adjust with the intensity of the bass. Back in the day my dad used a shock sensor off an alarm to turn the LEDs on and off, but I am thinking about using a MOSFET transitor and use a y-splitter off one RCA and strip the RCA to use its signal. The shock sensor system is a lot easier and I'm not sure if the RCA idea works. But as of now I'm going to experiment with it. You can pm me if you have any questions. Quote 2001 GMC Sierra Build.
