custom sealed enclosure

Plexiglas should be fine as long as it is very thick and sturdy so it has minimal flex.

Some notes of the box: I would try using some poly-fill or acousta-stuff inside. The downfiring box is about 2.63 cubes net before driver displacement. Stuffing will make the subs "think" the box is bigger, which will lower the Q and they should hit a little lower.

Also the box is quite long so you may want some minor horizontal and vertical cross bracing as you feel appropriate to keep the sides and top rigid.

Yeah the mounting depth might be a problem for side firing.

I think the downfiring enclosure with plexi side windows would look cool, especially if you wired some LEDs inside. Then maybe put some cupholders on top or something. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

yeah, I'm thinkin either side or top window. could always put cup holders on the front where it's tapered down. hopefully my drinks will need a good lid //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif haven't had this small of a setup in a long time. Hope it hits hard enough.
