haz mat sub box idea

[keiffith 10+ year member]

this drawing has no subs in it, since i cant draw speakers worth my life. this box is a pleglass/MDF board combo. the tubes and top panels are made of plexi. the only problem i see is getting a 14" OD tube with a 3/4"-1" sidewall. this drawing also doesn't have the supports for the tubes and a few other details. the theme of the box is industrial/hazmat container/nuclear reactor. all plexi is clear, the green is the neons i want to put inside the box. tell me what you think

rough box dimensions- 34"x30"

Im having a little trouble myself figuring out how this thing is supposed to go together

you can find plexiglass/acrylic tubes, just search. They are expensive. People use them to build fishtanks and shit like that.

oh sorry, i knew i forgot something. the subs go inside the 2 large tubes, and the passive radiators go in the sides and back of the box. the whole box would be covered in speaker fabric and the box painted black, so i get a seamless look and you dont realy notice the PR's

and yeah i fount the plexi tube, its not cheap. the XXX re's are too pretty to put in a sealed box.

x2. dude this is going to fail miserably back to the drawing board! there is no way any XXX subs are going in that

ignore the fact theirs nothing holding up the tubes- i laready have that figured out im just not a good artist.the subs will be mounted to a MDF ring thats bolted to the plexi...this is feasable, the tubes are 14" wide and the tubes about 14in deap.

.....i didnt draw the supports, they were to go about an inch from the end and would be straped onto the tube.... i cant DRAW... this was more of a concept drawing to get opinions on whether or not it looked nice, this IS NOT the final product. i can draw another one thats more detailed, but i want to know if the IDEA is good, not the drawing.

No. The tubes/box transition would pressurize akwardly.
