akrja_07 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 If you are going to do a pre fab box, why would you even consider buying online, also, sealed may be a better option for a pre fab box, unless those Sundowns hate sealed... I have no experience with them myself.

RyanJ Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 You can build a box in one day, let it sit in your vehicle over night with the windows down to allow the fumes to air out. :/, Can anyone just answer the question? Is there any box I can use that's already built on the non-expensive side. That's all I want to know. I appreciate the comments encouraging me to build the box, but I just can't do it at this moment. So if anyone knows any boxes, please let me know. Thank you.

Supercharged DCs Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I mean, if your looking for a prefab box buy any you can, they will all be pretty bad if you cheap out on them. That's my input on the subject, I've told you a way that building would work... Quote Bassless once again.

akrja_07 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Man I bought a pre fab ported box. It was well made no doubt. 3/4 MDF, 45's on the inside, spring loaded terminals all the works... But tuned S O O O high, it was ridiculous!!! It was made by audioenhancers.com If your subs will run sealed, and this is only going to be for a month or so, then that's what I would do, most sealed boxes sound pretty decent... But I'm a noob.

Quiet Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Lowes ace, and home depot cut wood for you. Get measurements, screws and glue. Then assemble at home in the living room. Thats what i do. I built 2 boxes that way. Built a 4th order bandpass in my bedroom too, even cut the holes for the ports and subs with a jigsaw and spent 1 hour vacuuming my carpet. Ahhhh, those were the days. Quote 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

30Hz.wav Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Your best options are to wait a month until you can build your own, or just build your own in a day. If you buy a prefab, your wasting atleast 100$. You can easily build your own for under that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksoul187 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 i agree with having lowes cut the wood for you, screw and glue on a nice day outside put in car over night with windows down and u got a box Quote 2009 Malibu LTZHead Unit - Pioneer AVH-P4300DVDSubs - 2 DC Audio m2 XL 15'sAmplifier - DC 5kWire - KnukonceptzAlternator - OhioGenBatteries - 2 XS Power 3100's, 1 d4700 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanJ Posted April 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 I understand that building a box is way better then buying a sealed / ported one, but that's what I'm looking at doing. Putting them in a ported / sealed box, would it affect the subs after a month of being used? I got friends who have sealed / ported box's of 2 12s Kickers, and I don't mind it. Maybe to you guys it sounds like total crap, but to my ear, it's not bad and I can live with it. So can someone please just answer my question and help me find a good box for these subs. If not, I'm just going to go to my local audio store and buy one. It's my decision and if it sounds terrible, I have nobody else to blame but myself, and I'm taking that risk. Thank you.

thecityxignites Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 If you already have your mind set on buying a pre fab, then just compare prices. See what it would cost to order one with shipping, then see how much one is at your local audio store.
