do you have any recommendations of people who build boxes? and about how much will it cost?
also, anyone have the link to a box building tutorial?

thanks for all the help, this is just the beginning of my new hobby.

I'm still a noob around here so i really have no recommendations. Perhaps post a wanted add for someone to build you a box and see what offers you get. It won't be cheap. More expensive than a prefab without a doubt but well worth it. I've seen some boxes around here and these guys do good work. A box isn't hard to build if you have the right tools. I may have someone make me one eventually as I just don't have the tools to cut straight lines. If you can do that, the hardest part is done. Accuracy of cuts is most important. The supplies are cheap. Hell, I might even pay someone to cut the wood for me and assemble myself

pshh as far as supplies, i found that for the simplest of ported boxes all you really need is a good jigsaw, wood clamps, and a power drill....i mad my first one with no problem at all..DEFF IS WORTH BUILDING A CUSTOM BOX TO THE SUBS SPECS!! my sundown 18" loves its new home lol.

btw..the most underated tool, AN EXTRA SET OF HANDS!!..carrying big *** sheets of MDF sucks lol

EDIT: and obviously the essential glue, screws, caulk, etc. (i know someone would say something about that lol)

Solo X + Sealed Box = Sounds like shit
Seriously... port that sub.

Yep, especially in a box that small. That's the first thing I noticed when I opened this thread; well, other than this...

first thing I though was thats normal
