Good to see the same threads being started that I was reading when I started 10+ years ago.
Seriously, isn't there a sticky or a search function? I swear they haven't got rid of those hahaha

Well at least in my defense, I found this thread via search, read it, and asked my question at the end. ;o)
Go with what fits...space and budget....Quote:

Just get the 12's and put them in a proper box. /thread
No need for 10's if you can properly fit 12's.
Get the 12's. More cone area. /thread :)Quote:

All you need is a circular saw, a drill, and some patience.
You're not really in the hobby if all you do is buy crap and slap it in your car.
I disagree. First 2 times i built a box it blew to pieces. Id rather to pay for top quality. This hobby is all about $$, so why does purchasing a box make it less of a hobby?Quote:

I don't know a single older member on these boards that knows their **** who couldn't build and design their own system. You are not a car audio guy. You are someone who pays car audio guys to build your system for you.
Some people do not have the time,space, or tools needed to build their own boxes. I do not look down on those who would rather pay to get a box designed/built. At least they aren't throwing their subs in a prefab.Quote:

It's like me saying I'm a construction worker (I am not) because I bought a house.
Poor anology. "Being a homeowner" would be the same if you built your house or paid somebody. Doesnt make you less of a homeowner for buying your house rather than building it.Quote:
