Plexiglass Sub Box

Anyone know of any websites that sell a regular box built from 3/4" MDF with a plexiglass back?

I want to be able to see the back of my sub.

igor when u find a site. tell me. thats exactly what i want to do. im thinking of just buying a box then cutting the back and angleing it to the back seat and putting the plexi on it. saves the time of building the box entirely. but if u find a site that has them pre made pm me with info please!

a few weeks ago i saw a bunch of all plexiglass boxes on ebay that were decently priced. I looked and couldn't find them but they might still be there.
OR just go and buy a bandpass box ( the ones that are in there backwards with a plexiglass front) there also pretty cheap on ebay or any audio store.

i don't think Igor wants a bandpass box. he wants a sealed box with plexiglass rear window.

i made an all plexiglass box for two 12's, not the greatest workmanship in the world, but when you get the plexiglass and build it for free, you can't beat it.

www.gatelyaudio.com has all plexiglass boxes. They are very nice and the build quality is very good. they are expensive and I don't really think thats what you're looking for, but i thought you might want to check them out. I'm in the process of building a box with a plexi window so I can see the sub magnet through the "ski hole". Its pretty simple to build. I'd say try it yourself first. you'll save money and have the pride of doing it yourself.

Build it yourself. I did something like that over the summer. Its 3/4 " mdf with 3/4" plexi. It sits against the back seat perfectly. i removed the ports and sealed the box because they were too big for for the box.

Brother tell that store to eat a fat one and go to sounddomain.com. Save a couple of bucks and get what you want. of course the boxes are empty you fill them with what you want.
