plexigalss, lexan anyone

Never heard of anyone building a box from lexan. I know people build them with plexiglass. I built a box with part MDF and plexi. Think I used 1" plexi, but I dont remember.

Do you wanna build the whole box with lexan or plexi? Only thing I dont like is seeing the screws. It can be covered up with carpet and other material tho.

 

thats going to be one hell of a pricey box, and if you mess up your boned.

some kid on another site im on found sheets of lexan or plexi for 250 a sheet. i dont know if you care about money like i do, but thats too much to spend on materials if you ask me.

maybe do a reg box with a window to show off the subs?

 

prefab band pass boxes are just meant to sound good on just a few notes to impress you in the store. to get the full potential from your subs in a bandpass it needs to be built to their specs.

i know a few guys that do the 1 to 3 ratio rule. 1 cube sealed, 3 ported and they seem to do very well. i don't know how to figure tuning tho.

im not 100% sure if it needs to be exactly a 1 to 3 ratio, but they whip em out quick and they all perform. by that i mean they get loud and low and sound pretty darn good on all sorts of music, not just rap. i listen to all types and have heard first hand what a real good band pass can do. even on low power.

 

I have never seen any Plexi enclosures that impressed me. I love custom MDF boxes.

I think Thumpper's boxes are some of the best I've seen!

Sorry to jack the thread

 

If you use 1" plexi...it wont flex. Im not sure about 3/4".

 

Lexan is Bill Gates stuff...... a 4'x4' sheet of 1" will run you about $2,400.
