thickness of plexi window?

[wagonmaster 10+ year member]

I am looking to build a box for a trio of original JL 8w6s( circa 1993) in the rear deck of my 84 Lincoln. I want to show off a little. but putting a clear plexi window in it. What thickness of plesi do I need to use?

Thanks

If in doubt, go thicker. For 2kw I would have gone at least 3/4" but more likely 1".

Depends on how large the pieces are too

Really think it's gonna have to much flex? I'll be pretty disappointed if it doesn't hold up.... It knocked the cost of my box up a bit... It was built by cscstang plexi from cherryman

The top is 13"x8"

Not really sure of the size right now, but I am thinking approx 8-10" x25-30" braced between each sub.

For the record I have no plexi experience till I get this box in the mail... The guys involved with my box do it for a living and due to the small size of my plexi both assure that it is plenty thick at .5 in... Yours will be twice the width... **** should look sweet

Idk, I just tend to overengineer things. If your designer says it's thick enough you should be fine, they have way more experience than I.

Based on all their feedback and successful builds if they say it's good, it's good.
