Box/Wall builder in houston tx

So you can't buy the tools you need with the 500$ you'll save by DIY?

i was going to say the same thing.

a motor is not much.

cheaper then $1200 ...

and i to would use a hand circular saw.

$1200 seems pretty cheap if it's going to be quality work and done right. Considering some shops charge $3-400+ for a "custom" ported box and easily more than $600 in labor for a simple install. (Wires, HU, Amp, etc)
Personally, if I wanted a wall, half the fun would be me building it and knowing that my hard work created it. Paying someone else to do it wouldn't be satisying at all.

im the same way...

do it your self....

Kurt would be pretty close to that price you were quoted, I didn't even think of him and Kyle, your looking for a 2 18" wall correct? I'll ask him what he might want

Yeah but looking to do a switchable port.

Im not to big on designing boxes and for the motor that died, that was a table saw i had in my workplace, but due to contract agreements partner employees can use it even tho its my property.

To make it short if i buy the motor they wont pay me back for someone elses fukk up. Especially since it costed me 2500$.

Pretty sure lowes, home Depot and ace all rent out table saws, Iv always used circular saw with a couple clamps and 4 ft straight edge for a guide

A 2 18" wall should be no where near $400. Should be under $200 in materials.

Lumber must be cheap in FL. It's expensive here

Buy a decent circular saw/blades and build a simple saw guide. (Instructions online). Straight cuts and cheap to do.

13 sheets of "birch" cost $325.

Only need 3-4 sheets for a 2 18" wall.

MDF is ~$35 here in TN. Birch ply, $45-50. Relatively cheap and I still don't think you could build a wall for 2 18's for under $200 including all materials.

$25 bucks a sheet for 3/4 birch ply would be super cheap. Almost $50 a sheet here. That's not taking in to account for 2x4 or other wood you may need for a base, glue, screws etc. I think $300-350 would be a decent estimate in material cost if I were to build a big *** wall.

Im on my 3rd 2 18" wall on my car.

Glue is cheap and screws are cheap too.

This was 6 sheets. (all they had at this home depot)





$325 worth

Just checked its $50 a sheet. So $53 after tax, it did go down but you still get it way cheaper.

It's $50.97 a sheet here. You're getting birch ply cheaper than I can get MDF. $35 for MDF right now. :/
