[QUOTE="kngadrok, post: 2074020, member: 569319"] I was reading another thread and realized that FOR ME, I'm at mercy of the local shops around here as I dont have a clue how to build an enclosure or install a system nor do I have the tools to do so. Even if I did find someone to show me how to do it, how in the hell would I know if they knew what they were doing? I mean anyone could make a box that looked good couldn't they? Forget doing anything electrical,& tuning my system, that's just way too much to comprehend. It makes my head spin to here you guys talking about freq, db, hz.... I would like to have a ported box, but since I cant build it myself I have to allow the shop that I normally go to, to have it done. I could have someone build if for me and have it shipped, but that's more of a hassle for me than just going to the shop and having them do it. Anyway this is not about me having an enclosure built,or a sys put in, I just wanted to know how some of you guys got started building, and installing your own stuff, and would you say it was worth it(ex. if it only costs a qtr of what a shop charges, but takes a ton of time, then for me that's not worth it)? I'd just assume pay the shop that I'm comfortable with and be done with it, as I could be doing other things with the time. I do wish they were cheaper but what can I do about that. Now if I got to the point where some of you are, and could have a system put in after only a couple of hours then maybe. [/QUOTE]
