Ok so I can't find anything I like so I'm gonna build my own. I know how big it needs to be and how much port space is needed thats not an issue, but I'd like to know what material would be the best for building it ?
I'm also planning a plexi-glass front with a mirrored interior, has anyone done anything similer that you guys know of ? I figure if I'm gonna do it I may as well make it awesome looking right ?

Thank you again.

I've seen at Lowes in 4 x 8 sheets, so i'm pretty sure Home Depot will have it.
Awesome Lowes > Home Depot anyway ! And I can get my plexi-glass there to ! I know what I'm doing this weekend !
Thanks guys!

each place should be able to cut them into the size of panels you need as well. I do it all the time and take the left-over bits as well. way easier to fit in the car that way.
dont forget yur gonna need at a minimum 1/2 plexi but i recomend 5/8 or 3/4. The stuff lowes and home depot carry is gonna be thing and is gonna flex really bad and eventually blow out.
You can special order from depot, either plexi or lexan, not sure aboot lowes

x2...thats what I use most of the time (unless I need bigger) it much easier to cut down than a full sheet.

yea, trying to manuever a 4x8 sheet by yourself is a hell of a task, lol.
Most of the boxes i build for people, i usually try to keep the width to 24" so i can use the handy panel, lol

So then the 1/4 inch plexi-glass is never gonna cut it. Now I'm not running a ton of power here so do you guys still think the 1/2 inch is ness. ?

1/4" plexi is NOT thick enough.
The larger your window, the thicker it needs to be.

FDP 62MM TB, FFP Performance Chip, FFP Underdrive Pully, WAI, Hi Flow Cat, 2.5" Catback, Functional Ram Air Hood, Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch
Not bad Mike, I'm doing the reverse where the subs will be mounted in the plexi glass and the back, sides, and top and bottom will be solid.
Thanks guys now I just need to track thie stuff down.
