Ok heres my deal, I have a contour, and since i have had it i wanted to go with a good eye catching system with plexi and neons/leds and other things. But i have ran into a dilema on picking all of my gear anda suitable enclosure to me. I was set on getting 1 or more jbl bp1200.1 and a 12" L7, but i want the punch in the music so i was thinkin about getting two 10" linear compresion subs from audiobahn.I was leaning towards the awt10's because of the silver face and the ability to reflect the lighting better.
With the design i want to do with the box i also ran into trouble. I know trying to explain it i always have ?'s so i will try to explain it the best that i can. I have rear fold down seats, so with that i wanted to build a wall so to speek of plexiglas right behind the seats so that when the seats are folded down the plexi is there, then about 6-10"'s behind that i wanted to make a enclosure with the cones of the speakers facing the plexiglas(like a traditional box) so that when the lighting inbetween the enclosure and the plexiglas is lit, the cones light up. But where i think i am going wrong is that would this be a bandpass type setup , since you have plexi in the front and a enclosure? Could i leave my enclosure sealed or would it be best to port it out the rear?
This is where i am stuck, can someone help me out?

It would not have to be a bandpass design to accomplish what you are trying to do. You could build the 'wall' behind the seats out of plexi, the sides and the back of MDF and mount the subs inverted in the trunk facing the plexi. That way the box could still be sealed. For a cool effect you could place a mirror in the bottom of the box. Or paint a logo of some sort on the bottom to make it interesteing. If you use Audiobahn subs it would look nice if you had their logo in white on the bottom and a black light hidden on the inside top of the enclosure. Paint the rest of the inside of the box a flat black. Just an idea...

I dont realy want to have the backs exposed. Does anyone know if audiobahns respond well to being put in a common chamber box as its pretty much what i am look to have with this install.
and as for the plexiglas, i wanted tinted so you cant see behind it until the neons/leds are turned on, and as for a symbol i was gonna etch this into the plexi and have it light up as well. but without the "contour enthusiasts group" at top.just ceg and the url.
