Prefab box?

What exactly is a prefab box? If you order a box online that is built specifically for your sub is it still considered a prefab? Noob question I know but still a question I would like to know.

Grabbing a generic box off the shelf at Best Buy is prefab. Ordering a 12W6v2 box online from jimsboxes.com is prefab. If you're not consulting a box designer to discuss your needs before a box is built then it's prefab. Not all prefabs are created equally.

90% of most enclosures sold online are "pre-fab".

The current situation is one of two with prefabs.

1. They are built on a ship that goes back and forth from the US to China. MDF is supplied here and the work force is supplied by China. The ship has several CNC machines on it, that cut out precut designs. The designs are very generic in nature with unknown specifics. Even when they are specified, they are typically off. This means the net volume, port area, and tuning are not as described. They typically also use cheap adhesive which leads to separation. They typically use moderate enclosure volume, low port area, and high tuning. All of this keeps the enclosure small.

2. They are built in texas but with the exact same guidelines as number 1.(not boat ride obviously)

There are companies out there that suggest an enclosure is built and designed around a particular sub. However, from what I have seen they are not all that different from the other prefabs. Just added a particular sub to the description.

All of these enclosures are on ebay, amazon, and normally at your local dealer.

any box that you didn't need to have plans created for the construction of it is prefab IMO
