[almo181]

Which is better acrylic or plexi glass?? How much do either cost???? Where can you find these???

[uncleroman]

plexi is acrylic. i would guess your question would be acrylic or poly carbonate{lexan}? lexan is expensive but unbreakable.

Yep. Plexiglass is too prone to shattering, in my experience, while lexan tends to hold up much better. However, I haven't used the obscenely thick versions of plexi, so your mileage with that variety might vary.

1/2" of lexan should do the trick.

I use UL-listed 752 Bullet Resistant Acrylic. Works great in 3/4 or 1" thickness. If you brace strong enough, and seal that acrylic flush or inset on the INTERIOR of the enclosure, you wont barely sense that anything is flexing. like a rock, with i dunno... dual 2000 watters inside? Whatever you want. It'd be a tank.
