[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 7496244, member: 549629"] Before we generalize too much, there are some nice 'pre-fab' box builders out there (subzero use to make a very nice box for Brahma's, for example). But yes, most are made cheap (5/8 wood, particle board, very little glue, no sealant, cheap connectors, single baffle, little or no bracing, poor tuning, etc). Also remember, not all box types are equally sensitive to box design. Assuming proper build quality, sealed is the most forgiving, ported is in the middle, and bandpass is the least forgiving. For a sealed box, all you really need to find for a pre-fab is one with the right internal space, and good build quality. For bandpass, getting a pre-fab that's designed to work optimally with your speaker is unlikely at best. This is not to say there is no real use for a custom sealed enclosure though, as custom sealed guarantees build quality, and the enclosure can be built to fot your vehicle's interior dimensions.
