plexi glass enclosures

[lilwhteranger 2]

ive seen sum all plexi glass boxes and there pretty sick. how do u make one? wat would u use to seal it together and how would it sound?

You would use plexi-glass to make it. You would use an acrylic adhesive to put it together and seal it and it would be $$!

Make sure you use at least 3/4" to 1" material and let your adhesive set up. In the past I made large acrylic aquariums, planning and prep is everything.

Get ready to be sticker shocked as it is really expensive to do.

[lilwhteranger 2]

besides price. im worried on how it would sound. i hear its alot different then using wood.

Sound can be the same when built right, but instead of $20 worth of wood you might have $1000 worth of glass

I Did Mine For About 50-70 For A Little Sheet Of 3/4 In. Plexiglass

I was comparing 4x8' sheets of MDF with 1" Plexi. By the time you add glue and other stuff it will be closer to $1k than $100

Plexi and Lexan enclosures are not as acoustically dead as a good solid MDF

enclosure...I have built several but price VS performance I would rather spend

money on other things

if not assembled right the Lexan/Plexi enclosures with large pannels sound absolutley AWFULL
