Oh and IT DOES NOT FRIGGIN FIT!!!! MOST IMPORTANTLY!

Anyone who bought one of these with issues contact me..... I got a plan
Dun dun dun....our hero to save the day, Mighty Mouse is on the way!!!!

1/2" because 3/4" would take away tons of airspace....this box is small enough internally as is. The stock enclosure that I modified is plastic that isn't even more than an 1/8th thick and it sounds awesome. I'm sure he's glued it in there somewhere, otherwise sealed the seams w/ silicone...I highly doubt he just screwed it together and used NOTHING as a seam sealer. The screws...who cares as long as it holds it together. I've used wood screws or even sheetrock screws in enclosures I've built in the past...they all still work. We're building subwoofer enclosure here, not building houses!

Fitment issues I have no comment on since I dont have one. Plenty of people had nothing but good things to say, lately the last few have had complaints. That either leaves a construction mistake or even something like the interior differences between 99-02 and 03-up E53 body style changes.

No one forced you to buy this, so as the saying goes...if you can do it better, then do it.

You really think a .250" is going to make a difference in air space? Wow.....
Most shallow woofer only require a 3" mount depth you can distribute air space anywhere in that compartment enough room.....

No forced me no..... But your cant rate a food you never tried...... Sheet rock screws already discredit your ability...

He did use sealer but its riddled with screws making hard to modify and mount... My sub cutout was even cut to 10" dia...obviously conat mount a sub to that..... Its junk

And if there is a construction mistake a refund or new box should be a option.....

If you cant deal with this people should not attempt to sell products online in forum,ebay or anywhere else!

What does needing a "wood on" mean...are you flirting w/ me Anyways, in regards to my enclosure and the conversation I was having w/ someone else, I used fiberglass and attached an MDF face onto the STOCK plastic sub enclosure, so how about you educate yourself before you open your mouth.

You remind me of my buddy in highschool when we went out on a first date w/ these two girls, then suddenly he spurts out "Ya know, 90% of back massages lead to sex" as were sitting on a beach rubbing their backs. Just like him, your mouth opens, then your brain follows.

I had the same issue with fitment, I took photos and sent them to Chris showing the hole was cut out in the wrong spot. 2 screws on the sub had nothing to attach to, and the bottom of the sub was hitting a ledge inside the box so it wouldn't drop down inside and sit flush on top. I was able to contact Chris at the beginning of Feb, and he offered an exchange, however I shipped it back 3 weeks ago and haven't been able to get a response from him ever sense as far as the replacement box. If you have a pending transaction via Paypal and have not recieved it I suggest disputing it and reorder it when he is available. In my situation it took 40 days from the day I paid, until the day i received the box so I ran out of time on the dispute before I was able to receive the replacement box. Now I am forced to go the tedious route of disputing the transaction via VISA.
Stephen, if you are still on the forum, please contact me to reconcile this issue.

I don't know where you the get balls coming on here and trashing my name. If you hadn't have had such an attitude throughout the process things would have worked out differently. Instead of being in such a rush, which I don't get because what the hell could be so important that you NEED TO HAVE BASS RIGHT NOW????? If you had said, listen, I'd like to work out something where this can be adjusted, sure, that would be a different story. I just did one for someone and they've been very polite. I had made some in Connecticut while visiting family for a couple weeks, so maybe somehow in the entirety of everything else going on in my life, and issues that aren't related to woodshop projects, maybe a mistake is possible! I never claimed to be a mass-production factory of these things and never stated myself as being a company or any other organization/establishment. I would have gladly fixed a MISTAKE, but you were impossible to deal with. This is all on top of the fact that you DIDN"T EVEN PAY FULL PRICE. I cut you a deal because you whined and haggled so much.


Don't come into something I've started, and trash my name. I'm human, mistakes can happen. But to come here and tell me what I did and didn't do???? Your out of line, and 100% wrong.
Find a hobby, or start doing it yourself. Don't spend your time bashing what I do, you let me worry about that. Maybe you should start this up on your own. Would probably open your eyes a little.

And if your so knowledgeable on the subject, why did you buy one?
for the record, M5James is right, 3/4 is too big, for using it all the way around, which is why I used 3/4s for the side walls, which I'm assuming you didn't know because you felt like advising me on that topic too.


And countertop screws? Now your a nail and screw connoisseur? You can tell exactly which screws I used? Find that hard to believe.....

Now before this becomes some school yard cat-fight, lets stop making a scene. I am back in town now (I'm sorry, I don't spend 24 hours a day on forums and in front of computer screens). PM's will be answered today or tomorrow, I'm doing my best here.
