Torres Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 the t-nut method is probably the method i'd use. and just be careful when drilling through the plexi like the others mentioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kentb Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) i tried it and looks like i have to pre drill the hole bigger than the screw it self because the screw doesn't seem to bite in the plexi(and its making a bad sound as if it was cracking). i'm thinking of just using a silicone caulk to seal it up tight. the edges will be hidden because i'll put another beauty panel to cover it up. btw i used a normal drill bit and it seemed to work fine no problems at all. i also used a normal counter sink bit and it worked.

SubSonic Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 yea iv made a small practice box ans used plexi, and all i did was pre cut 6 screws to hold it to the mdf then siloconed it, and was AIR TIGHT!!! held water without leaking. so that would work..

Yeah, you want the holes to bigger than the OD of the screws your using. You don't want to be screwing into the plexi. Regular drills work fine on it the first time through, if the holes need to be opened up, when you try to re-drill the hole the drill will grab and might crack the plexi or your wrist...whatever one is weaker...

The Performer Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Silicone would work, but I wouldn't use it for the plain fact that if you ever want to open it back up for anything it'll just be a pain in the ass to separate the two. And also now you've got silicone fumes in there with your subs eating away the glue on the subs. Just go with the weatherstripping and be safe then sorry. Quote CERTIFIED BITCHES!!!
