Bulletproof Glass Enclosure?!?!

[allanluberda143 10+ year member]

I just recieved a decent amount of bullet proof glass, and i have 2 15" l7 subs with no box. I have decided to make an awsome box out of it (sealed), but would it work, my boss said to me...

"if your sealing it, how will the sound get out...its 1" bulletproof glass"

That made me think, is there a such thing a TOO dense? or ....

is denser even better?

will a bullet proof glass box sound even better then wood? and will it hit harder?

or will it be too good and not allow any sound from getting out? (NO I DONT LIKE PORTED BOXS SON DONT THINK ABOUT IT)

ONE MORE QUESTION,

if i buy an amp that is 4 ohm stable, and lets say i throw a 1 ohm load on it(my l7's wired in a parelle) will my amp still handle it? does 4 ohm mean 4 ohms and under or 4 ohms only???

whats a good amp that would power

x2 15" s15l7 kicker subs? at 4ohms a coil? (dvc)

and what wiring should i use?

If you are building a sealed box, then by definition, it should be sealed... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/graduate.gif.d982460be9f153bb54e5d4cb744f6ae8.gif

If the amp you have is 4 ohm stable, then wire your subs to four ohms. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

If you try 1 ohm your amp will probably go into protect mode.

The sound doesnt leak out of the box. It is the sub that makes the sound. That's why people seal the box with glue and caulk. If the glass doesnt flex that much, i guess it would work fine. Im not sure on the rigidity of bulletproof gas though.

think about what you just said....its bulletproof glass......i hope it doesnt flex at all. i mean if people can make boxes out of plexi im sure bullet proof glass will have no problem....

I wonder what the composition is of the bp glass as well as how heavy it is.

you should make a windshield out of it

what are you going to seal the interfaces of the plexiglass substrate ? It has to be clear obviously and especially since you've choosen a sealed alignment you need a material that well bond with the building material. You have any ideas on that yet? I mean, is it true glass or is it just really thick plexiglass - there are quite different requirements for bonding either.

And if it's really glass.. how will you mount the sub to it without demolitiong it or cracking the glass.

Do you really think you can apply more pressure in mounting a sub than a bullet will hitting it?

Lol true, but it can't be real glass then.
