Custom subwoofer box

Bronze Member Username: Pearlwhite94Post Number: 16 Registered: Aug-06 | Im going to build a custom box out of mdf for my pickup and i was wondering if i could used plexiglass for some lighting effects. My idea is to cut out some flames on the mdf and replace it with plexi glass through the inside. Will this work at all or will it affect the performance of my subs? |

Silver Member Username: JtownATX, Texas Post Number: 475 Registered: Mar-07 | But anyway, Paul, I noticed you have a plexi window for your 18" is the window sitting flush? If so, how did you do that? |
