i would use some type of caulk. and hope that the plexi is thick enough.
when in doubt, check the ground.

I used a foam weatherstrip that is sticky on one side, worked well for me.
shred the gnar
make sure it is thick enough, my friend said his plexi cracked due to the amount of pressure being exerted

Go to home depot, it's 3/4" wide and like 1/2" thick.

we're talking about plexiglass, not weather stripping.Originally posted by SirSteve

Gotcha... BTW - the reason I used the weather stripping instead of caulk was in case something went wrong and I had to remove the glass to get to the speakers. I didn't want a big mess with the caulk. There are pictures of my box in the Photo Gallery (using 3/4" plexi for 3 JL audio 12w3v2-D4's with a JL 1000/1 pushing them.
