double baffle, before gluing the 2 baffles together,router out a recess from the backside that matches the thickness of the plexi...use some silicone to form a bead and sandwich it in between the 2.

the thing is... im trying to make everything flush.... im using a double baffle for the face and mouting the sub on top of that... then going to use 1/4'' plexi to make the plexi flush with the sub, and then a 1/4'' mdf beauty panel around the plexi so that the entire thing is flush

If it needs to be able to withstand any kind of pressure, then screws are the only way to go.

Im assuming this guy is simply talking about some sort of trim panel, not an actual window into the box that would be pressurized. Who in their right mind would think you could glue a 1/4" plexi window to a box for that purpose? lol
