its gonna cost more than 100 bucks for a good box

If someone builds him one, yeah. Just find someone good with building shyt and have them help you. Materials shouldn't cost more than $40 MAX.

Is it a 12"?

Go with 2.3cubes tuned to 33hz with 30-50sq. in. of port.

If it's a 15, go with 4.2cubes tuned to 33hz with 40-70sq. in. of port!

Werd.

ya its a 12. What kind of sound would that give me? Boomy bass, quick bass, sloppy bass? Also, i assume the size is 2.3 cu ft after sub displacement? Also, how can the port size have such a big range? I thought the port size directly correlates with the frequency it is tuned at ? And i assume to get a slot port box?

yea i can't wait. What is a good price to get for a 2.25 cube box shipped w/ carpeting if you know? I got quotes from tons of box builders already, and im getting things from 95 bucks all the way to 145 bucks. But im not sure what is the norm to pay.

Since I don't really have any space constraints, if i put a crazy big box back there, like 5 cubes or so, would that make it extremely loud, or be a bad idea?

PREFAB=FTL.

sealed is sealed...no rocket science going on...

ported would def be better

I dont think it needs 5 cubes, maybe 3 to 4, and tune low so you sustain the great SQ the xxx is known for.

how low? And would it still wang?

If you liked the way it sounded before sealed then why change at all. You'll gain more SPL by putting in a ported enclosure but you're also going to lose some SQ. Its up to you though, it is your sub and your vehicle. Don't let everyone on here talk you into porting it unless MORE OUTPUT is what you really want.

aren't you the guy who complained about how bad the rl-p sucked for weeks on end and just bought the xxx instead of following EVERYONE's suggestion to build a decent box?
