Skullz Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 (edited) The atrend site has some good boxes to get, check and see locally if they can order you one at a decent price. They have a coated spl box SPL-12DV that i think is ported to around 38hz, the closest i was able to find from an online store was the 10" for $140.00 so you might want to check and see if you can order one close to you. http://74.53.76.202/~atrendus/images/products/atrend/SPL-12DV.html http://www.atrendusa.com/ EDIT: Again it comes down to the amount of space you have available to you.

OrionStang Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Skullz, don't recommend a prefab box. EVER. OP, build your own box, you'll be much happier. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullz Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 They show all the dimension you need to know for fitting into your car, the box size was w36 x 14h x 22d.

devil4u2c Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 IHMO i would check with some local shops to see what they would charge to build one, it dosen't look like a bad box, but that is one of those things you kinda need to see in person, because the wood that they are made of can be really cheap and brittle. Also (by the way im not bashing carpeted boxes) you can cover alot of imperfections with carpet, so if the panels aren't exactly straight it could leak but you wouldnt be able to tell by looking at pics because of the carpet. I am just wondering why you don't just build one? It would cost you around the same but you know that the work was done well. again just my two cents another thing if you are going to buy a prefab I would take these guys advice on where to get it.

Guest Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 bro do you really have to make a 2nd thread? just do what i told you and leave it at that. dont get ebay shit period. i told you practically EVERYTHING you need to know to basically start your own box. i told you what tools, and what info WE REQUIRED so your box can fit the woofers requirements.

I have a feeling whenever i buy on eBay that its going to F.A.I.L....will i? edit: i'll build my own box the second time around, but the first time..im buyingone.
