go custom


i would go to a reputable car audio shop in your area. they can build a box that will fit where you want it in your car and you will know it will have the right dimentions for the specific speakers you are using. if the box has to much space or not enough you won't get the sound or quality your speakers are capable of. as long as you don't want anything special like fiberglass. if you are looking for a plain carpeted box it shouldn't cost you much to have it built. i would not just go off and buy any old box. it will sound good to you, but the difference is tremendous if you have one made with the correct dimentions

you could do as psycho bob said and take it to a custom shop or get an old box off ebay. personally, i am building my own box. its not that difficult if you know how much air space the subs require. if you want to know any of the steps in building your own box pm me and ill tell you what you need to get. if you do decide to buy a box then good luck with it. but before buying remember to have the correct amount of air space or your subs could bottom out and you wont have very good sound quality.

If you build your own remember to add the speakers displacement into the total available airspace. IE..... If your speakers need 1 cubic foot per speaker and you have two,ya built a box that has 2 cubic foot of airspace right? Nope, your speakers displace .10 cubic feet of airspace a piece(your subs come with a spec sheet check the exact #'s ). Your box then would only have 1.8 cubic feet of airspace with the subs installed.
Go to this link and type in the measurements you are looking to fill(measure side to side and top to bottom and front to back) Use at least 3/4" MDF wood though http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/boxcalculator.asp

If you have any more questions or need some more help designing a box e-mail me at hpjunkie302@netzero.net
