Oh I got an email from someone...not sure if it was you...but I thought it was just to get the right dimensions... I'm all the way in CALI. shipping would be ridiculous no matter where you live (unless it's less than a hour drive that I could pick up)

I bet the damage you did was washed off in an hour... They charged me Several hundred for some sharpie on a ticket machine. I saw some workers take some goof-off to the machine...not the same machine but just in general.. If you're gonna do something. make sure it can't be just painted/washed off....make it worth the money/effort...just sayin..

What kind did you use? the guy is going to get 3/4 MDF...how much does that cost?

So the guy that owns a shop and is willing to do it for $100 is a good deal? Does the price reflect on the sound output/internals of the box? I'm only looking for sound quality...

Why did it cost so much? For my first box, I don't care about looks or design - just what works best...and quality...

the guys at the car audio shop that I bought the sub and amp from tell me the box does not matter. I've never built a box before, so I want to pay someone to make one quality (and I did, found a guy that has been making cabinets or something for 20 years and owns his own shop) My problem is that the guy wants $100 and there is no way for me to be sure it's going to sound better. What if it sounds worse? I measured the current $50 box and it's: (width x height x depth) W:1'7" H:1'2" D:1'5" The box dimensions needed for my sub are W:2'5" H:1'2" D:1'0.625" How hard is it to do it myself? Lowest price you would pay someone to do it? Here is a pic of what needs to be done. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I saw pics of the news but never saw the vid....why did you even post this sick shit...

I have a sony xm-4045. 2 channels are LPF, 2 are HPF. had it hooked up to my dash speakers. it was too much power for them (40w) Hooked them up to my door speakers - still too much power (60w) This is kind of confusing to me but ... Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I'm guessing your car has limited space? Well I have an SUV - what would you recommend? Where do I find a designer? Yeah if I make a box myself, that would be a lot more satisfactory...my dad is good at building stuff...I'll ask him for help...

Ok cool I might just keep my $600 sub and amp How can I go about building a custom box for my sub?

I have a $50 pre-fab'd box and was wondering if a custom box would hit harder (or deeper) Right now I can only hear the bass but I would like to feel it...does that make sense?

The last 2 links are the same and those subs are only 100 more watts than this. How would 100w make a difference? Maybe I don't have my shit hooked up right? I think I have the sub connected to the rear out RCA's so that I can use the fader to turn the subs down (head unit has no sub control) Gonna brake open the console right now and see if they work better on the SUB out... also I have this equalizer - would it help? sony xec-500 Uploaded with ImageShack.us If so, also wondering if they make a dash kit for this for my car (1996 gmc jimmy) there seems to be enough room for it.

How much should I ask? Damn well I wanted to stay under $200 but then it went to $400 at frys and so on...I got tired of not having decent bass that I could feel so I sprang for the "good brands"

I don't think they had one that worked...the first one they gave me was only 320w RMS @ 4 ohms, the 500w was 2 ohms..and the guy even said "oh hur dur sorry about that" "no returns, only exchanges" is what it says on the receipt.

Yeah now that you mention it...they didn't even want to help this other guy that came in right before they closed...and that IS odd how they didn't want to sell me a head unit... The receipt says "No refunds, exchanges only" And then "30% restocking fee for exchanges"

Just like in the pictures? Bridged (for 500w RMS) I don't really understand the question? It goes: Amp, box terminal, sub. I can get pictures if you want?

It's called "car audio express" in san jose. There used to be a skate shop there a few years ago or so. I was looking up the amp and some site said it's only 125w RMS?

I figured that because it was a car audio specialty shop that they would know more about the stuff... So what should I do? At the end, they told me my head unit was the problem because it didn't have a sub control or something... They said to come back tomorrow to get a new head unit (they were closing)

Well I asked the guy and he said I can't demo anything and he won't give me my money back before I even tried the shit...

I am completely new so subs/amps/boxes. I would like to know if I should demand my money back/better equipment or be happy with my purchase. It sounds OK but for $300 I had the exact same sound from frys electronics with a cheap crunch amp ($100) and the polk audio db1212 ($200 - 360w RMS) Here are some pictures. The sub is a 12w3v3-4 ($250) Amp is rockford fosgate punch P500-2 ($300) Box was custom made I think ($50) Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us
