i have a 12" lethal injection from incriminator audio and the enclosure i have now is too small for the sub. i need a 2 cube ported box tuned to 35hz. i don't have much room in the back of my jeep, there is only 14.5" height clearance. trying to keep it under $150 shipped.

If you get a cut sheet you can goto lowes or home depot....and buy a sheet of MDF or Birch if you want to get a lighter weight wood....both places have panel saws and charge like 50cents a cut after the first cut...what you do is tip the cutting guy a $20 to give you a precise cut ...for $20 its more than he will make in an hour and won't mind spending the extra time measuring to cut your wood right...remind him your paying him more than he makes an hour for encouragement.....the sign says it can be off a little...they are only off to incompetance...I have a $1200 panel saw and it cuts perfect as long as I measure my cuts...theirs probably cost $25,000 believe me a $25,000 saw can make perfect cuts.......if a $1200 saw can

i just got a black and decker drill/jigsaw/sander and some accesories for 30.00 . u can find deals u would need some basic stuff bro i made threads about what tools etc i need and i never built anything befor. u can put that 150.00-200 you wana spend and get some basic tools and just spend a few min a day to get it done. not a big deal if u pay for one to b built i would see if there is any local guys to build it . most of the time u can pay for what ever it cost them and mayb a few bucks or if its cool mayb a beer or 2 can get you a nice box.

contacted 3 local shops, 1 want close to $250, the second has a minimum starting price for a custom box for $200, the third hasn't gotten back to me yet.

Yeah, i live on CT so everything is way over priced. there are 3 home depots in my area and they all sell one sheet of mdf for $45, and it runs $35 for the first cut and $15 for every cut after that.
