I'm making custome speaker brackets for my door's 6.5" premier speakers. I'm planning on buying plastic sheets(lexan-plexiglass type of acrylic plastic). I wanted to know the best way to cut this a.s.a.p. so I could go to the hardware store and buy it so I can start cutting.

Honestly I've always used a table saw with a blade for cutting plastic. It can be any blade as long as it has small teeth very close together. If you need rounded corners or something you could trim it up with a jigsaw or dremel afterwards. The blade does melt the plastic a bit and you end up with little strings of plastic everywhere but I always just made my measurements a tiny bit (like 1mm) larger.
