Are you attaching it inside the hole you cut?

The best way would be to use a router and make a bevelled edge for the perspex to sit in, much like how a mirror sits in a frame. And then use something that will dry clear for glue. Bostic Titan Bond Plus would be the best glue to use but it is expensive.

On the other hand you could try using a clear silicone, but I'm unsure if it'll be strong enough to hold it in from the sub bass vibrations. I'd definitely silicone around the edges of the perspex after it's glued in though.

No worries mate. Just make sure you do silicone around the area the perspex meets the mdf or ski port, wherever it is. You want to make sure it's airtight.

you can also get clear perspex screws so you can silicon/screwe them in holding them tight.
