CleanSierra Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 That's cheap for a shop to build. If you have the tools and the skills, build it yourself. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise I'll just make it myself lol If you don't have a table saw just get your cuts done for free at home depot, you will just need to do the sub cutouts with a borrowed jigsaw. Round any inner edges of the port by sanding and you can dismiss the 45s. Get some drywall or MDF screws and some high quality wood glue and some silicone sealant.

Deeznutz Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Clean Sierra thanks I have never asked a shop for a quote to build me one. I have usually bought the superbass boxes. ill try to make one but if I fail ill just have these guys build it for me Only way to see if you can build one.....is to build one. (words of wisdom) This is an old trick I was shown when I was 16 while building my very first box for a 10" pyramid sub I bought at a flea market. My ol' man's best friend was a very wise man......carpenter,plumber, wine maker...a jack of all trades. One day he came to visit my ol'mam ,he walked passed me while I was working on a box on the driveway, looked at me and said "there's a better way to cut that line"....you just need to find the way to do it!". Words of wisdom(?). I was like "WTF?! give me the answer already!". He came back and told me to get 2 clamps and an aluminum "L" bracket. That was the Cuban version of "necessity is the mother of invention". lol. Some of the best advise I had ever received. This is my second L bracket...purchased in 2000! When you're ready to build the box, post up first and we can give you pointers on how to measure and cut. It's an art form! -Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
