3/4" Plexi & MDF Box
#11
What if I made the backing ring out of 3/4" MDF, I know it would be quite thick, but that couldn't be a disadvantage, could it? I would just need longer bolts.
At least I have the tools and the materials available to use MDF for the ring.

While we're at it, how would you guys recommend actually cutting the sub holes in the face of the plexi/acrylic?
I was planning on using my dremel as a router with a RotoZIP Sabrecut bit:
They cut MDF like butter, but I don't know if it will chip the plexi, they're designed for all woods and plastics... If it chips a little it's no big deal, cause that area will of course be covered by the sub's mounting ring.

Thanks.
