Need help finding ideal prefab ported box

Check out Audio Enhancers, Get ahold of them they will hook you up! I get all my prefabs from them! very very happy with their enclosures.

This box looks almost perfect, even though it's a bit larger than recommended, but I may have a hard time getting in my trunk. Each chamber would be 1.68 cubes after displacement.

Just add another hole cutout or email the seller and see if it is possible to cut another hole in that one.

Thanks, I'll check it out when I get home... ebay is blocked here at work.

Buy the one that eD sells, or take the dimensions and make a copy.

I can't afford the one that eD sells, and I know what the plans are for their box... they have it on the website. the problem is having a local shop build it would cost too much, and I might as well just have eD ship it to me if I were going that route. I can buy a prefab box for about half what it would cost to have a shop or eD build the box for me. $200+ is a bit much for a ported box for 2 12s if you ask me, I know how much mdf costs per sheet.

this thread = fail

have someone build you a box. It would probably be cheaper, and will match your specs

I say build it yourself. It really isn't that hard. I am terrible with tools, but I have built two solid boxes. Been running one for about two years now. If you do not have a table saw, go to a lumber yard. They do pretty good cuts. When I built my first box after buying the wood and the tools specifically for building the box it cost me less than a prefab. My last box cost less than $20 to build using 3/4" MDF.

Sounddomain's subwoofer section has a thread showing how to calculate tuning as well as displacement for port, sub, etc.

Who can I have build me a box???? Everyone keeps saying have a box built, but nobody is recommending me any that I can have build it. Can someone on the forum build it for a reasonable price, if so, please let me know who so I can talk to them.

Check the enclosure and box buildign thread - that is the right thing to do, your smart to listen - enclosure makes more impact on your sound then your choice of subs.

try some boxes by r&t they have decent prefabs surprisingly and they are a sister company of obcon plus the prices are pretty good

 

[GlocksRock 10+ year member]

You got a link for those places?

 

[mr. man 10+ year member]

just look up obcon and there will be a link on there site for r&t

 

[GlocksRock 10+ year member]

their site doesn't say what the boxes are tuned to.

just build it yourself, its not that hard. home depot can make the cuts for u too for a fee, then all u have to do is piece it together...
