- Adding a plexiglass acrylic viewing window to a subwoofer box can give a very cool look to a custom sub enclosure. But it must be done right, in this video I show you how to make a custom subwoofer box viewing window out of acrylic. I show how to cut the acrylic, how to seal the subwoofer box so no air leaks, how to mount the plexiglass to the sub box and more!

best car audio channel in the world, by far!
Looks great! I've never thought of angling the gasket cuts like that to prevent leaks. Great tip!
That is a gorgeous window!
I've been watching these videos as well as the CT Sound videos and they're amazing. This is some very impressive craftsmanship.
Amazing as usual! Thank you for all your informative videos. The best fabrication vids ever!
Awesome vid, clear and easy to understand ;-)
+Dereck BigDWiz Thank you BigDWiz!
two of my favorite channels. one watching the other. lol
OOOOOOLD schoolstereodotcom!
WOW! It's amazing how the correct tools can make or brake a project. I have made several Acrylic windows and none were that easy nor that nice.
I love your videos. very clear, precise and you don't skip steps. you have a way teaching that isn't so common on you tube. I know almost nothing about fabricating enclosures and such but Im confident that by following your videos I cant make something that's top quality, your videos are just that easy to understand. the fact you list, and link, materials and tools used is just that much more comprehensive.
Holy... wow, beautiful
After watching this vid, I now know how to better my custom box in my trunk. Thank you Mark 👈😎👉
Beautiful!
You do great work! Thanks!
Always informative!! Great vids I've learned a lot over the yrs which have saved me time and money!

Somehow, I knew you had a video on this topic and you were the first suggested video after searching for this topic. You have been more than helpful once again! Thank you! Cheers, be safe, and stay healthy!
Yes! Right on time too I was planning on doing this on my box

Looks great man!
Awesome video Mark, I love working with acrylic. The last thing I built with acrylic was a 20' bow rail on a Baja speed boat that was lit up purple.
Thanks for the knowledge, starting my first Beauty Panel
Damn this is SO clean. Nice video dude!
Another great video. I'm in the process of building a ported box for a 15 and was wanting to add a window to display the magnet without inverting. Keep it up my man!
Very nice!

I don't really have a need or the tools to do this... but every time I watch this video I'm tempted to incorporate a window in my future box design.
Dude, you're a master artist! :-o
Top notch work Brother, very cool technique.

Good morning my friend, I'm Brazilian and I really like your videos, I'm really delighted with the work of you. I would like to request a video of how you make the fabric covering on embossed pieces. If it's possible, I'm very grateful. a hug
ill be doing this with my two 15"
Man if I had the money for all the tools needed to get crazy custom I’d do it just for fun
1 Unlike ? Are you serious guys ? Come on ... This guy here try to teach you some secrets from car audio world and you dislike that ? Man ...

Use like to do this with a box that's already built....wonder how hard it would be
I broke my like button smashing it
+Destiny is Life Boom! Thank you!
+CarAudioFabrication no problem, except when I try liking future videos.
Looks great but it takes up space inside the box. Is there a way to fit the plexi/acryllic flush from the inside? I assume you could run a rabbiting bid around the inside edge but how would you match that size with the size of the acryllic?
What’s up I know you do a lot of car audio installation can you do a video explaining the proper hardware to install a subwoofer in a subwoofer box as far as the screws especially if you’re using a competition subwoofer which is very heavy
Hey mark great work and very useful information do you reside in Arizona?
what type of bolts do you recommend be used with these threaded inserts and plexiglass? And why these inserts and not the ones for mdf?
I've learned so much from your video seriers and I really appreciate it. Where do I go to donate to future videos?
Does plexiglass effect the performance of the sub and box? For a while I thought it would because there is "glass" amongst all of the would which would either rattle or cause the sound to resonate differently.
is awesome in Argentina is realy hard see works like that. Is a shame waht i cant understend spiking inglish. a great job. sorry by mi inglish
I would like too know what city your in to get a build done when I finish getting all the products I want in the system I love the custom work you do and would like to have a couple systems done by you if it could be possible thanks
Do you have any videos on installing plexiglass without using a router and the fancy equipment like the templates and extra layer of wood?
Mark, so if you were to use plexiglass for a whole piece of your box. You would suggest no less then 3/4” cast ?
Would the acrylic change the sound or are there any negatives to this instead of making it out of all mdf?
Do you have a video of a 4th order box?
The Like button has been smashed
My dude!
Do u not need lpck washers or nuts when using threaded inserts?
Do I need the same cast acrylic to make a amp viewing window
Hey, love your videos.
I have a question.
Im attempting a false wall build in a frs.
any advice on air tight sealing in areas you cant perfectly cut for on the sides? ive heard of expanding foam but wanted your take i want a professional or atleast a clean look..
also. I was thinking about using a (probably single maybe dual) high power 8" like dc m38 or x-8. Do you think that would be good or should i go for a 10" or 12" in such a small cabin.
Where did you get that rabbiting bit? That’s not easy to find lol
How does that smart template work?
Can the windows on a subwoofer box be made out of the same glass that they make house windows out of
Great videos, but how can i do this things without such a table? if i just want to do it once or twice as an normal random dude for example?
how did you make the layered chamfer?
I would highly advise using acrylic specific drill bits. I drill a lot of the stuff for my day job.
+thephranc Yes definitely, the ones I used in the video worked awesome, they are linked here: www.caraudiofabrication.com/#!acrylic-viewing-window/cw2
Does a subwoofer lose power when you use glass for subwoofer box for design?
will the plexyglass vibrate and reduce sound quality ?
When drilling holes in the acrylic dose the hole in the acrylic need to be wider than the screw so the screw can slide in and out of the acrylic ??
would it be possible to build a box for 2 zv4 12"s that will fit in a ford fiesta 2014 sedan without having to mod the car?
podrías traducir tus vídeos ya que me interesa mucho gracias
Make me one. TAKE MY MONEY!!!
Can u just used silicone for seal?
Any sound quality reasons why I couldn't omit the plexiglass viewing window & cover with wood & carpet entire outer box with carpeting to hide enclosure?
What kinda vinyl did you use?
I really need help lake season is coming. it's a polk 5000.5 and 8 650ums with two MM 10 subs
now how to add led lighting around it? bcuz viewers can buy online a premade window with the name brand etched into it. looks awesome when lit up!
What type of router are you using. Where can I purchase the same router
do you build and ship custom boxes? I live in the caribbean.
how do you make a custom radio mount
Great DIY support. Attempting a two sub car audio to at home conversion.. Any recommendation if I make a straight plexiglass wall? For full visibility?
3/4 inch plexi minimum
links to the vinyl and tools?
Where do you buy the vinyl you use?
