[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8110527, member: 614752"] This seems like a very solid deal, particularly if you want to buy new. Budget @ 80$ for wiring and incidentals and 100$ for a box and you're good. You can of course make a box for less, but there's things like glue, screws, caulking, etc. that you'll have to buy more than you'll use on one box, so you'll have leftover stuff. For 100$ you can buy a good design/blueprints, materials, and have enough budget to bondo/sand/paint or carpet. There's 1000 threads here of people building boxes, once you understand the fundamentals, it's not rocket science. Keep things airtight and brace large sides (flexing sounds like *** and kills output, and you'd be amazed how little it takes to flex even 3/4" wood) If you shop right and build a good box you can outperform paying double at a local shop or big box store. The best part of buying right the first time is you'll get good performance, reliability, and stuff will hold a good resale value if/when you ever decide to upgrade or just grow out of it (yeah right).
