It's deceptively easy and to get a box built for 18s will be ungodly expensive Alright, I guess I could give it a shot! Isn't there tricks to building boxes though Some, but they are pretty basic. 14-16 sqin of port area per cubic foot of box space after displacements Smaller box for more efficiency handling, bigger box for effeciency Do a double layer baffle. Some 1.5" dowels for bracing And if you can, some 45 degree cutouts in the corners Subs up, port back for an suv ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444

Thanks man! Thats good to hear Im still kind of new to the car audio thing, how much should I pay for a good box to be built? I feel like im going to get ripped off since I am young it all depends on how good u want the box ...it cost me $114.00 for the wood,fiberglass,glue & screw for the mdf box in the video...took @3 hours to build +2 to glass it and a good builder is gonna want $20-$45 per hour....some are much faster and as long as u brace it good and have no big gaps you shouldnt need to glass the box id say $180.00-$300 for good box 1995 Honda passport 3.2 4x4 Frankenstein on a budget ballistics sound deader (roof only so far) kenwood mp3 usb audio control 3 (upgrading) hifonics mx-3 3 sets of massive px5 5.25s 3 sets of massive tweets phonix gold 5.25 componets x2 massive nx4 nano 200x4 mids sony xplod 600x4 watt high's 2 Fi bl fully loaded box walled @31ish hz 13.2 cube box/wall massive DB8000 Excessive amaperge 250 amp alt wir extrnl regulator daul runs of xs power xpflex 0 gauge big 3 raptor 0 gauge power/ground wire full run suriken 45 amp hour x3 shriken bt-120 batts,interstate 1100CA semi batt scytek galaxy 2way alarm still upgradeing!
