Anyone build custom boxes in FL?

Hi guys,

I have 2 12" aw1200's (Audiobahn) and a 1300hc amp (I know everyone doesn't like audiobahn, but they have been fine for me). My boyfriend recently gave me his old system which is 2 kicker 12l7's and a jbl1200.1. I don't know too much about car audio, but would like to run all 4 subs and the 2 amps. I would love to build my own box, but judging from what I have read on many forums, I don't believe i am capable, and thus would prefer to pay.

So is anyone willing to build a box? F/G or mdf, would prefer f/g just because it looks so much nicer and I would like to go as "showy" as possible.

I drive a 2003 tiburon, I can use the whole trunk and if possible would like to be able to move the box to be able to get to the spare....(although its not necessary if it cant be done).

Im trying to find the trunk measurements, but all I have come up with so far is this site: http://www.nctd.com/printversion-review.cfm?ReviewID=1115

If I can't find any I guess I'll have to find them out.

Off topic, Is it bad to run different subs? I've heard conflicting things, lots of people that are really into audio and compete say never to do it, but i'm never going to compete so will I be ok? 2 square subs and 2 round ones should look pretty funky. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Thanks to all that reply,

Yea dont mix them, they tend to get very sloppy as they sound/play differently. If i were you ide take the 12L7's and make a box for that. If you go to a custom shop theylle probabyl charge you close to 200 for the box, if you have the tools you could build it for about 30-40 bucks. Making a FG enclosure takes ALOT of work(doing it currently) and time. I woudl think a shop woudl maybe charge at least 500 for it(just a shot in the dark here) maybe 600-800. I liev in deland, like 2-3 hours away but i wouldnt have time to help, sorry and thats a long commute.
