ill be getting the box for around 80 no more than 90

i thought about having somebody do it on here, but by the time shipping was added, it would have made no sense at all

post up in the NE region, i bet someone near by could have built it and met half way or something, what size are they making the box? I still dont understand why they needed the sub to cut the holes out.

Wait, why would he be pissed that you sold the subs he sold you and bought REs? He made his money, its your business what you do with YOUR subs. Sounds like hes just mad cuz you didnt fall in love with the JLs and tell all your friends to buy them from him. Ive never had audio shops do anything for me (mainly because Im not loaded on cash and cant afford overpriced shit) but im glad i havent, learned so much of how bad majority of shops are I never even bother talking to them. Not saying my boxes look fantastic but no ones paying me for them.

Shoulda built that box yourself coulda been done for 1/2 the price

Everyone tells the guy to do it himself, but he may not have the tools.

Tools = not free.

^...80$ for a built box (if built clean and right) isnt too bad. Normally youd spend around 30 ish$ for supplies ..glue, wood, nails w/e.. but factor in tools which he may not have ..clamps, circular saw atleast, space to work with..could live in an apartment? Wouldnt see the problem with spendin an extra 50$ or so

Down here the only boxes your gonna get from a car audio shop are prebuilt boxes like PRO BOX and stuff like that, almost every box is too small in volume and/or has not nearly enuff port area. Sometimes there not even built with mdf they just carpet them and put em on display so you never notice. And they sell them stupid high..like 200$ for a prefab box for 2x 10s..

especially when a sheet of mdf at my local homedepot is 30 bucks to boot. 80 bucks is a steal.

RE sucks.

What's an RE Se/X anyway? They've made Se's, SX's, and SeXXX's... but I really have no idea what an Se/X is.

 

[alexregalgs 10+ year member]

i must say i've been lurking lately and do not know what the Se/x is either

Re now puts a x at the end of all their new sub lines. ie se/x,sr/x, etc

 

[tRiGgEr 5,000+ posts]

All of RE's new subs have a X at the end of their name. Good way to identify a 09 sub vs. an 08.

So

REx

SRx

***

SXx

don't know if they did it on the MX or XXX...
