Plexisglass window for enclosure help


Joshex

Recommended Posts

I'm thinking about making a new box for my Rockford P3s. I will either be top mounting or side mounting them depending on my design.

I would like to make a window to show off the magnets and have blue neon lights.

Now for the question: Would 1/8" plexi work if I up out the appropriate amount and routed down? Also how would I mount the plexiglass the cleanest and easiest way?

I don't have any personal experience working with plexi glass, but 1/8" is pretty thin. Plexi is pretty flexible, and you may lose a fair amount of output due to the window flexing.

At least. Inch thick would be about equal to the strength of 3/4 mdf. Window size depending

Well this is kind of an idea as of right now. I could do 2 separate windows to highlight just the magnet of the sub, so the window size won't be anything ridiculously big.

Edit:

Something along the lines of these. Maybe making the windows slightly smaller only to show of the magnet like I said.
