1/4"-1/2" would work good. anything less would crack. just dont tighted the screws too tight when you install the plexiglass. you dont wanna crack it!

The plexie glass was not that expensive for me it cost me about $6 canadian for about 1 square foot and that was all I needed.

id go with 1/4 or 3/8. i did this a while ago when i first started building boxes, but only used 1/8. bad idea. first i cracked it by over-tightening a couple screws. then the bass made it flex and made it worse. within three days it looked like sh*t and i had to yank it out and build a new one.
