Looks very nice, will that acrylic be adequate to not flex?

Displeased with subwoofer box v1.0 I decided to rebuild...now box v2.0:

I wanted to bolt the subs in but didn't want to the screwed to protrude and I also realized that I wouldn't be able to access the head of the bolts themselves when securing the sub...so this is what I came up with for a solution:

Counter-sink a flat-headed machine screw and secure it with fiberglass resin.

I utilized the same method for the plexiglass window mounting bolts. I had to decrease the size of the head of the screw and manually glass in 40 mounting screws...pain in the a$$!

Added carpet inside and an array of LED's

Wrapped in factory color-matched dark graphite vinyl.

Next comes mirrored plexiglass on the inner side walls and bolting in the plexiglass top windows.

I hope so...I'm using 1/2 inch plexiglass for the enclosure windows.

Man, that box looks like it took forever to build. I sure hope it sounds good so you don't have to sink another 40 hours+ into building another.

Just did...as always, looks absolutely fabulous. Curious as to what happened to the 1st enclosure? Didn't sound good? Or...?

You got some good vinyl wrap skills. It's one of the hardest materials to work with.
