Thewes Posted March 5, 2008 Report Posted March 5, 2008 (edited) I know how clever, a plexiglass window in a DC sounds box. I liked the idea Will had so I wont lie this design is definitely inspired by his box. The plan to keep the plexi from flexing is having it be 3/4 inch plexiglas, and have the back of the box triple baffled. The first 3/4 MDF will be cut a bit bigger than the window, the second piece will be an exact cut out so it fits snug, making the plexi sit flush, then the last baffle will be like the first, cut out a little bit larger, to cover up any silicone/screws/glue used to hold it in place. Now does anyone know where I can get custom cut lexan/plexi? Edited March 5, 2008 by Thewes Quote

sean 371 Posted March 5, 2008 Report Posted March 5, 2008 Screws and silicon yeaa. As far as cutting goes...jigsaws work pretty damn well on plexi...the plexi actually melts a bit as it cuts, so what you have to do is after you cut a few inches, run the jigsaw backwards to make sure to knock out the plexi fragments or youll have to go back thru cause theyll melt together again Quote A couple links to some box builds: Tahoe Box 1, Tahoe Box 2, Nissan Titan, VW GTI, Mini-Bump, Hummer H2, Ford F-150 My own car builds (current setup --- under construction): Overall Thread, Kickpods, Dash, Back Doors Subwoofer Wall
