that's low heat plastic - http://74.175.101.66/dealer/searchresult.asp?Cartid={B96186FBEVEREST-2639-48F4-9003-FDFE1B7A468E} Select Products is one of 100 places to buy it. it's great for making a flush ring with half the wood cutting time.

Can't be LH-ABS... it looks more like HDChipboard to me... Look at the staples. I use this stuff all the time for inserts and embossing on hard surfaces. 1/8" and when bent, it becomes strong enough to do thi kind of application. It's like flexible MDF. Easy to work with to.Never send your ducks to eagle school.

why not use mdf speaker rings?  I have never used plastic, is it easier to work with?

It depends on the application and what finish you are looking for... It's more of an individual installer preference. Unlike MDF, plastics don't breathe so you get a better seal. If you soak resin in, then MDF seals like plastic, but tends to be bulky. Chipboard is like MDF in thin layers, but soak in enough resin, it'll seal well. Whichever way you go, as long as the form is in a curve, they can be strong enough for the application.Never send your ducks to eagle school.

The trim ring is made from weather resistant cardboard. you can get it at most ulpostery supplies. they use it alot for making door panels. oh yeah the shiny things are staples. ( just funin' on the last part, nothing personal )
