Default Plexi-glass box...

Ok, i just sold my 2 audiobahn 10's and my enclosure in the newspaper (they sucked) and i was looking to get new subs and a new amp. I'm thinking either Eclipse or Kicker on the subs but i was just wondering if it would be at all worth it to get a dual 12" sealed plexi glass box over a regular wooden one. Thanks

If you wanna see into the box then sure go for it. Personally I see no point to an all plexiglass box.

i think plexi-glass looks good if you do it on one side, to show off your magnets if there big

It depends how thick the plexiglass is. If it's not thick enough, it'll work like crap.

[sm=noooo.gif] As one of the audio big dogs of the forum I gotta say thats a bad idea. Plexi is mainly for show. You need a box that will absorb soud, not reflect it. You wont like what a plxi box will produce. My reccommendation for that would be to settle with a plexi glas window thats no more than 35% of the box.
