Bassman3 Gold Member Username: Dustin3 Box Designer & Builder...Dustin Post Number: 5322 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Friday, February 12, 2010 - 23:22 GMT For some reason my older thread was taking a while to load (maybe because of 77 posts) so i figured I would just create a new thread with the updated pics. I didn't take pics of the plexi box with the zinc-plated screws in plexi because it started raining again. I updated a couple more pics on my earlier thread a couple days ago if you didnt check it out: https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/car-audio/612573.html Give me a min to upload the pics.

Bassman3 Gold Member Username: Dustin3 Box Designer & Builder...Dustin Post Number: 5327 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Friday, February 12, 2010 - 23:51 GMT The plexi in the picture is just sitting in the groove, not being held in by anything. It fits nice and snug though

Post Number: 15962 Registered: Jul-05	Posted on Saturday, February 13, 2010 - 15:31 GMT looking very good man hey how thick is that plexi - hope it doesnt flex since it seems to be a sizable piece psp port FTW - those just seems to have majic in them since they produce some sweet bass & good numbers on the meter too ...
Bassman3 Gold Member Username: Dustin3 Box Designer & Builder...Dustin Post Number: 5330 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Saturday, February 13, 2010 - 22:04 GMT It's 3/4" Rovin There is not gonna be any problem with flex. I think i could have gotten away with 1/2" as well and still would have been okay. Thanks Rov!

Bassman3 Gold Member Username: Dustin3 Box Designer & Builder...Dustin Post Number: 5331 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Sunday, February 14, 2010 - 00:26 GMT I can get plexi for very decent prices :D For all of those who were wondering

Bassman3 Gold Member Username: Dustin3 Box Designer & Builder...Dustin Post Number: 5351 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Monday, February 22, 2010 - 18:04 GMT Thanks mark. These are the final pics. I havent gotten ahold of mauricio for a while so I'm not sure when im shipping it out. Let me know what you think
Bassman3 Gold Member Username: Dustin3 Box Designer & Builder...Dustin Post Number: 5352 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Monday, February 22, 2010 - 18:15 GMT Here are some when in their in some different lighting
Mark Scafetta Gold Member Username: Mendonmafia USA Post Number: 1959 Registered: Aug-06	Posted on Monday, February 22, 2010 - 21:01 GMT should have carpeted the inside of the one with the plexi, that would look tight.
Motha Ducka Gold Member Username: Ducka Shelby Twp., MI United States Post Number: 1360 Registered: Jan-08	Posted on Monday, February 22, 2010 - 23:19 GMT ^ or at least painted it... Still looks good, Personally I would have done something with the inside.
Bassman3 Gold Member Username: Dustin3 Box Designer & Builder...Dustin Post Number: 5354 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 - 01:32 GMT Yea, i was thinking that. But the sub magnets will be the only thing showing through the plexi anyway. But ill keep that in mind for the next time
Bassman3 Gold Member Username: Dustin3 Box Designer & Builder...Dustin Post Number: 5355 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 - 01:33 GMT But to be honest, i kind of like the look of being able to see whats on the inside
sean Platinum Member Username: Insearchofbass York, Pennsylvania Post Number: 13496 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 - 02:18 GMT A neon in there might look cool with a painted surface inside
sean Platinum Member Username: Insearchofbass York, Pennsylvania Post Number: 13497 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 - 02:23 GMT Bassman how much would an .75 all plexi box cost me for my idmax 12 1.42 cubic feet gross sealed
Bassman3 Gold Member Username: Dustin3 Box Designer & Builder...Dustin Post Number: 5356 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 - 02:53 GMT Any reason why your wanting all plexi? I have not done, nor read alot, about all plexi boxes. I know that one plexi enclosure fabricator (forgot the name) used some type of melting technique to melt the two pieces together. I am not sure what he uses though. I could do some research and get back to you.
Mark Scafetta Gold Member Username: Mendonmafia USA Post Number: 1961 Registered: Aug-06	Posted on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 - 03:00 GMT the only problem with plexi is you need to use cleats to attach it. drilling into the side is very difficult with plexi unless to have special bits and if you tap all the holes. You could use all glue and clamps but then you need clamps and need to put something between the clamp and the plexi to keep from scratching it.
sean Platinum Member Username: Insearchofbass York, Pennsylvania Post Number: 13498 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 - 03:03 GMT just thought it would look cool and thought maybe you could do it. really id like to get an idea what it would cost roughly before I have you do all that research. If it costs to much or is too difficult i might settle for something less demanding
Bassman3 Gold Member Username: Dustin3 Box Designer & Builder...Dustin Post Number: 5357 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 - 03:23 GMT 3/4" plexi get pretty high in price pretty quickly sean. For example, the plexi i used in these pictures was 15" wide and 6" tall and it cost $45... so it is expensive to do. I could help you work out something as little less dramatic if you want?
sean Platinum Member Username: Insearchofbass York, Pennsylvania Post Number: 13501 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 - 03:29 GMT wow yeah a little too expensive for me....what ideas do you have
Bassman3 Gold Member Username: Dustin3 Box Designer & Builder...Dustin Post Number: 5358 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 - 03:36 GMT what are you looking to do? there are many different window combo's + paint or carpet combos that you can do to really set off the enclosure as far as looks go.
sean Platinum Member Username: Insearchofbass York, Pennsylvania Post Number: 13502 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 - 03:45 GMT I was thinking maybe a sealed box with a window painted inside with a neon to set it off like what I said above....maybe even idmax painted on the inside
Bassman3 Gold Member Username: Dustin3 Box Designer & Builder...Dustin Post Number: 5361 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 - 03:48 GMT I have some connections with some cnc machinests who can do custom engraving in plexi -- if you were thinking of engraving IDMAX in some fancy lettering of some sort? with some led's on the bottom and upper corners of the front baffle of the box to light it up? That might look pretty cool..
sean Platinum Member Username: Insearchofbass York, Pennsylvania Post Number: 13504 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 - 03:55 GMT That sounds cool but what would something like that cost me?
Bassman3 Gold Member Username: Dustin3 Box Designer & Builder...Dustin Post Number: 5362 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 - 04:01 GMT Box would be priced out like this (rough estimate): Box alone = $80 + shipping 3/4" plexi for a window $40 Custom engraving = I would have to call around some places and see what I can do for that. So your looking at $120 + engraving price + shipping (which would not be much for this small of box) How does that sound?
sean Platinum Member Username: Insearchofbass York, Pennsylvania Post Number: 13505 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 - 04:07 GMT when you get the price for the engraving let me know...as far as shipping im in the 17404 zip what do you think that would cost
Matt Bronze Member Username: Whatmh5 Post Number: 24 Registered: Dec-09	Posted on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 - 04:36 GMT You seem to do some great work. I'm glad your building my box!
Bassman3 Gold Member Username: Dustin3 Box Designer & Builder...Dustin Post Number: 5363 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 - 04:49 GMT Sean, Shipping would be around $35-$40
sean Platinum Member Username: Insearchofbass York, Pennsylvania Post Number: 13506 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 - 04:54 GMT all right all we need now is the engraving costs
Bassman3 Gold Member Username: Dustin3 Box Designer & Builder...Dustin Post Number: 5364 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 - 07:15 GMT I will get back to you Sean
