etaks_crew Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) I was taking to a buddy of mine and he want to make an L-style ported enclosure. He asked if he made the front wall and the port wall out of plexi how thick he should go. I havnt seen plexi that big in and enclosure before. For the piece that he wants its gonna be about 40 inchs and anywhere from 15 to 20 inchs high. Any suggestions, good idea bad idea, Thickness?

wL<3bass Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 If it's going to be large or going to have high-powered woofers in it plexi will do nothing for you....get lexan or hard acrylic and it better be thick.

As long as its quality shit like chemcast or plexi brand..regular plexi will with stand thousands of watts.It also depends on how good you bond it!!
