I got a local guy who was going to make me one for each side that looked like the one in the ebay link.

I would keep my amps bolted to the backs of the seats.

...........$299.... :AF: really?

Good find, those look nice, I like the carpet over paint, and it appears to be more flush and use up less trunk space.

^^ Yeah that seems steep, especially with no sub.

EDIT: They're asking $330~$420 on thier web site for those!!! I see an OPPORTUNITY for someone to make those and sell them at a MUCH lower price (hint, hint)......

not hard to do. if you have ever messed with fiberglass or bodywork before. even easier if you carpet the box.

i do wonder how tightly it is secured in place.

I take it that none of yall have went to an audio shop to get a quote. You will spend about twice as much there and will have to leave the car for a day or two while it is getting custom made.

Considering the material costs and time it takes to do it, that's not a bad price; Also you don't have to worry about your car getting messed up in the process of it being made.

I make this type of box but it's not worth it to knock the price below $300, it wouldn't be worth it after the subtraction of materials and time.

[crystalalien87]

i got a quote that it was gonna be 300 for fiberglass box...wish the guy would come on here so i can buy it

I made one a while back ago and it cost me 100.00 in materials and 3 days work. I only made it with about 3 layers of fiberglass and it really doesnt sound anywhere as good as a regular MDF box.

Not thick enough..and it may have needed to be layered with some polyfill around the inside walls.

Just gauging interest... I would be willing to build these boxes for people. Working with fiberglass is easy to do. Anyone interested??

@happymonkey2

Do you still make boxes?

I'm thinking of putting an amp and a sub in my Celica soon. :wiggle:

Working with fiberglass isn't too hard, but just make sure you have a reeeeeaaaallly good mask to filter out all the particles. Really bad for your lungs. I was working with my fascia on the Z a while back and a guy was learning on his sideskirts next to me. Let me tell ya... the amount of debris that can be all around a beginner is mind boggling! The regular round masks that you can buy in Home Depot for like a few bucks just don't quite cut it. Make sure you don't go cheap on the filter.
