I want to put some new subs in my mastercraft because the ones in it now are falling apart. (well the wood/carpet box is rotting and coming apart...subs are fine)

Anyways I found this company that makes solid clear acrylic sub boxes.

Has anyone ever used an acrylic sub box?
- How do they sound?
- How durable are they?

Use Marine Plywood and coat it with Epoxy, Should last 5 years

thats pretty cool looking. is it plexiglass? if not. could you use like 1/2 or 3/4 plexi on a sub box? id spend the extra $$$ for something like that!!!

Yeah I like the clear plexiglass/acrylic too. I would spend more to have it as well. Would like to hear from someone that has one though.

I went this route:

Box is a premade box that was sold already coated with bedliner material on it. $68.55 shipped.

Subwoofer box with a cushion snapped onto it to function as a jump seat:

that's really not a bad price. I'm curious about the rigidity of this stuff.

I spoke with the owner of Invisible enclosures and he sounded pretty confident in regards to sound quality and durability so I am going to go with a solid acrylic box from them! I agree shawndoggy, the prices aren't as high as I thought and the $25 credit isn't bad either.
I will post pics once its all set up.
