Default Cutting 3/4" plexi glass to mount subwoofer

I have a custom plexi bandpass enclosure for a 12" Oz sub (way too big for wife at 3.2cu ft). The specs for my sub call for a 1.5 cu ft sealed enclosure. I've checked the enclosure's dimensions and can make it work, but the plexi is the question. My custom box has 3/4" plexi on the front and back. If I mod the enclosure to make it a sealed box, I'd have to use of one of the plexi panels as a mounting board for the 12" woofer. Is this possible? Is this recommended? How would you go about it? How will plexi afect sound Q?
Thanks

The enclosure and sub are for sale in the classifieds, so if they sell I wont have to do this mod

start by drilling a hole then use a jigsaw to cut round holes, or for square cuts there are two different ways. 1 is same as glass..score and snap, but i think 3/4 to thick for this, i'd just grab my skilsaw and cut it. when you are done you need to sand the edgeds really good. any little crack will become quite large in no time from the vibration of the sub
