oh ,and if you have all the precise measurements it might be worth checking out a sign shop with a cnc router to cut all the pieces with a bevel cut(and to see if they have any plexi in stock)...it's just a bit tricky to cut plexi perfectly(which I'm thinking you want to achieve).

To make a solid box, routered or rounded corners are the best looking, but also hard to acheive, they have to be sanded, buffed and then if you're good enough, you can use a propane torch to slightly melt the edges and it cools super clear, but you can burn.

It might be a lot easier and just as good looking to make the top and back peices out of clear.

also to keep expences low you can make just the top of the box to show off the subs. or maybe some other combo between MDF and Plexi

expenses aren't a concern. like i said, im getting the plexiglass from a friend for free.

i thought of having the plexiglass cut with a waterjet cutter. the cuts are computerized and the edges would be flawless im sure.

i found this company in Barrie called ADVANTEC WATERJET INC..i sent them an email, now waiting for a response.

id prefer something closer to the GTA though

I personaly used 1/2" plexi simple cuve bent to mimic the rear of the car. We used the mdf box as the mold in the oven to produce the bend. Then resond inside the box and painted it body color. The out side was carpeted to the trunks color. Even after all these years it never goes old looking at both side of the sub. My only real problem was to get the plexi super clean and static free. Have fun my friend and plan it out. The results are truly worth it.
