They're a bitch and I only got 75% through it, but after knocking out 2-3 or in a row, but I bet you've become quicker when cutting and assembling them...but your time is still your time. I've told my customers before in both remodels and BMW repairs, you have three choices but you can only pick two...quality, fast or cheap.

Even my cheapest flat labor rate to do the fiberglassing on my box (I went above and beyond what others had done) would have rang up around $350 for just reusing and modifying a stock enclosure. $150 for a well made box, materials, etc is good price. They've been without them for this long, so waiting a little longer isn't going to kill anyone in exchange for you still having some family time.

The same day you created your waste of a thread is the same day you posted here, so that's true...but I'm still pating myself on the back (this is a statement, not a question) for persuading you further. Just buy it and move on already, Shrek.

Same day..Not time.......

The thing I don't get is you came in here ranting about a waste of thread but keep coming in here and now trying to scam a nice guy for a referral fee..

You had no leverage on my choice... It was the gut making these. He is very prompt and helpful and polite. Take notes.

Good Bye stop harassing me please I will contact the admin.... Let it be

Anyways back to Enclosure talk please

"Mommy, mommy, mommy...he said something truthful and mean to me, and I took it personally. Make him stop " You started the arguement with your most recent post brotha, not me.

As I said earlier in my reply, I was joking and I also said to buy the thing and move on already. If you've got anything more to say to me, PM me...period.

sorry James, I have not worked with fiberglass, but for the price and his craftsmanship (i have not seen it, but take his word for it) its def. worth it. Thanks for the tip anyway.

NP. Had he been doing these around the time I was constructing my first wood enclosure, I probably would have went with him also, and then never even ventured down the fiberglassing road (it was my first time as well) for the box I have now.

Twinspoppa has just received his enclosure, hopefully he will be able to comment about it soon. But I'm sure a subwoofer box is the least of his worries now that he has that awesome mustang project going on .
Hopefully he'll share his build with us.

Babylau will also be getting his box shipped out on Wednesday. Next three will be going out next week as well. That means you Ed, Idi, and Mike!


I don't know if this is something that would interest anyone, but maybe some of you have some X goodies lying around that you would be willing to trade for an enclosure..?
Just off the top of my head, I'm on the hunt for
- Clear tails (grid pattern)
- Left headlight casing 2001-2002 production year
- Ipod cable (not FM transmitter, and I have non-DSP, non-NAV. Yes I know, its dreadful)
- Front decorative skidplate
- Anything you might have that you would consider, let me know. Thanks again everyone

Hey,
I have clear tail lights from my 2003 Sport - great condition (replaced with LED's). Let me know if you still need them - a trade for a Sub inclosure.
