Those acrylic tubes are not very strong //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Pretty **** cheap, great find.

Quick question: what's the difference between "cast" and "intruded"? And what thickness is best for sub boxes?

And what thickness is best for sub boxes?

Depends on the driver/power and type of box. Normally you will need the 1" thick stuff.

3/4" plexy is stronger than 3/4" MDF.

Cast is when they form one sheet at a time in a mold and extruded is when they push or pull a long run and then cut it to the appropriate size. The only real difference between the two is that extruded acrylic will sometimes gum up a router bit if the bit is not sharp. Extruded acrylic is cheaper to manufacture as well.
