 this might be in the wrong section, but i make sub boxes, and i was wondering if anyone was interested in buy any. If you want more details ask. They can be customized. I have 3 designs, and i can make them in 8, 10, or 12. let me know what you guys think.

 yeah hold on, i'm sending you money right now...


First off, i'd like to see some pics. What materials do you use.. Fiberglass, plexi, or just plain mdf? What do you charge, where u located? Are the enclosures even custom fit for the tc..if not, its not hard to just make a basic mdf sub enclosure.

They are made out of MDF or plywood, i made ported and sealed. they range from 80-100 bucks. They are not really custom fit. I am in CT. I currently don't have any pictures. But i am working on a box for my car so when that is done will post pictures, and i am working on another one.

 Not exactly worth it man... You can go to any car audio place and have someone make it for you and have it made to fit the car for the same amount of money... Only would be good for local pick-ups...

 I just was trying to see if i should start up again. i have changed my mind. I used to just do make them for my friends, and the plywood box worked out well it just was a heavy mother. Thanx for giving me the input, i am glad i checked.

 Pick-up would be great but shipping would KILL it... Good luck...

 i made them out of oak plywood and you get a better sound quality out of the oak then the MDF. A lot of boxes are made out of plywoods, you just don't realize it.

 well i buy in bulk but it good to buy it in like the gallon about 30$ for a gallon of resian then it only 4$ for 9 sq feet of the fiberglass mats buy like 4 or 5 or it matter how big your project is then you will need sand paper that pretty cheap and some bondo glaze to make it real smoth. all to gether most of them cost about 80$ to 100$ when i make them for ppl i charge for the stuff + 50$ to 100$ for labor most ppl pay me about 150$ to 200$ shops will charge 300$ for a singal to 600$+ for a nice set up with 2 12s it just matters alot on labor..

but if making one for yourself expect to spend 100$ on first one it takes time to get good at it and not waste fiberglass!

any ways sorry for all the spelling and grammer it 3 am and im tired hope you can read haha maybe ill edit it in morning
