Dang, that would make one cool custom microwave door.
Seriously though, that is superb! Very cool Mr. Mark!

Are you not entertained?!?!
Thought about doing it that way but I really wanted to show shaping the acrylic, without getting too carried away with a bunch of router tricks to make it sit down in. Hopefully some guys will still try this out even if they don't shape the acrylic, at least they know they can bolt in a rectangular piece.
Do you think a 1/2" piece of acrylic about 60"x12" would be stout enough to be the front of an under seat box with (4) 8" subs mounted to it? I don't know if I could afford a piece of 3/4" that big... The rest of the box would be 3/4" MDF.
"stout enough" to achieve what? I will flex and resonate unless you support or jacket it at that length.
I'd wager it would still flex a bit- would you notice the effect on the sound? Probably not. And it's just a gut feeling from past experience- if I had to use a 12" wide 1/2" piece of pleixi in a sub box, I'd probably try to secure it to an internal brace every 12" on the length.
With (4) 8's, wouldn't I have to have 3 braces to isolate each sub anyway, so that would be every 15" or so in a 60" box. So really, It would be flexing a 15"x10" area for each sub. Would that just be too much area for 1/2", or should I stick to all MDF?
You don't need to isolate subs. And if there's a question- stick to MDF unless you need that showoff factor
