[QUOTE="phenryiv1, post: 8188462, member: 572008"] Are you speaking about a rectangular(-ish) enclosure not costing $300 or something thatis custom-molded fiberglass in a vehicle-specific shape? The enclosure was tucked into the side panel of the hatch of a 2008-2014 WRX/STi and would require a vehicle to make the mold, time to lay the fiberglass and to build the enclosure itself, and then would require additional time for the aesthetics portion (sanding, painting, or carpeting, in this case). I don't kno wthat I have seen custom enclosures such as this for under $300. Here is the enclosure in the previous owner's vehicle: [IMG]http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh611/RobBASS1/image-15.jpg[/IMG] Here are some off-the-shelf vehicle-specific options from mass vendors: [URL="http://www.wickedcas.com/product.php?productid=120&cat=5&page=1"]Wicked C.A.S.*::*MAGIC BOXES*::*Subaru*::*Subaru - 08+ Impreza WAGON /WRX/Sti 1X10 / 1X12 Sub box Subwoofer enclosure[/URL] ($349 plus shipping) [URL="http://www.audiointegrations.net/catalog/item/6767669/6655814.htm"]SIH1008 08-2013 Subaru WRX / STI Hatch 10 Inch Perfect Fit[/URL] ($329 plus shipping) Neither of those are as "tucked" as the enclosure that I bought, which is part of why i went with it and not with one of those. At any rate, if you feel that one of the CA vendors could replicate or improve upon what I purchased, I woudl be happy to be wrong in my assumption that $300 was a good price for a custom, vehicle-specific enclosure.
