How to - Plexiglass Subwoofer Box Window - Acrylic - CarAudioFabrication

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Adding a plexiglass acrylic viewing window to a subwoofer box can give a very cool look to a custom sub enclosure. But it must be done right, in this video I show you how to make a custom subwoofer box viewing window out of acrylic. I show how to cut the acrylic, how to seal the subwoofer box so no air leaks, how to mount the plexiglass to the sub box and more!

    I love your videos. very clear, precise and you don't skip steps. you have a way teaching that isn't so common on you tube. I know almost nothing about fabricating enclosures and such but Im confident that by following your videos I cant make something that's top quality, your videos are just that easy to understand. the fact you list, and link, materials and tools used is just that much more comprehensive.

    Hey, love your videos. I have a question. Im attempting a false wall build in a frs. any advice on air tight sealing in areas you cant perfectly cut for on the sides? ive heard of expanding foam but wanted your take i want a professional or atleast a clean look.. also. I was thinking about using a (probably single maybe dual) high power 8" like dc m38 or x-8. Do you think that would be good or should i go for a 10" or 12" in such a small cabin.

    Does plexiglass effect the performance of the sub and box? For a while I thought it would because there is "glass" amongst all of the would which would either rattle or cause the sound to resonate differently.
