in the dark

sweet, how much would you charge for a basic 12" Sealed enclosure :). I'd rather get one custom built instead of buying a cheap one in the stores.

Box looks great, but you should have used wide-disperment LED's to eliminate the spotlighting effect (unless that was intended)

thumpper 02-16-2010 02:19 PM

when the amps are mounted behind the bright spots almost disapear from the
close reflection of the amps....it's one of those visual mind f%^& things

I'll be doing a couple more Lexan projects soon

rust1d 02-18-2010 11:00 AM

shipping rates would be astronomical.

SUX 2BU 02-18-2010 02:08 PM

In a flat application where you aren't bending anything, why Lexan vs. acrylic? Polycarbonate scratches, and can yellow, easier than acrylic. Is it cheaper?

Jaloosk 02-18-2010 04:02 PM

It's bulletproof!

clear lexan doesn't yellow. I know the white stuffs does.

As for scratching....apparently mr10 is abrasion resistent.

why?..... insanely stronger compared to acrylic and cracking could be an issue with all the vibration.

Cheaper?...hell no.

I'm hoping the vinyl will be ok for a while since the mr10 doesn't seem to like adhesives/paint.....might get a little bubbling...


It's nice to see someone putting a little more into there projects, especially when he could of used a much cheaper acrylic and nobody would of known the diffrence.

oh, the box looks frackin slick....nice job man.

thumpper 02-21-2010 11:14 PM

I like using Lexan..this stuff doesn't yellow at all and it is much easier to work
with..big bonus is the added strength
the Logo is not paint or vinyl either..it is sand blasted as a reverse image
on the interior of the panel
