well if i made a truck box out of it will it hold up? i need space behind my seat and 3/4" MDF compared to 1/4" plexis glass would take to much space up. i dont see why it wouldnt work it i coat the inside with underbody coating and use a lot of L brackets to hold it together...i could also sand the outside down and paint it. fiberglass is a possibility but i have never worked with it before, so im a little timid to try it on my 1st real install.
thanx in advance to all who replys.

i would go with at leats 1/2 inch and prefferably 5/8 or 3/4" plexi. 1/4" wil have way to much flex and sound pretty $hitty if you ask me. sorry but it is the truth.

i think i will go with either 1/2" or 5/8" plex for a few reasons: 1)to be different, 2)easily painted, 3) dont wanna try fiberglass yet and dont wanna mess it up, 4)i think it would look trick'd out as hell with a red neon on top encased in its own box, 5) it should be lighter. is there any specific type of coating i should use for the inside like underbody coating? which is best? and when i paint it im gunna paint it and then add some clear coat to help seal it also. i still would like some more opinions on this...

you can get it as thick as you want. it is harder to work with than fiberglass imo though. if you want plexi, talk to bobby gately. gatelyaudio.com
