QLogic Sealed Boxes.......

[elementxero 10+ year member]

Alright, I know there is a huge stigma against buying prefabs, but I just snagged a .65 cu ft prefab Qlogic sealed box off crutchfield. Only paid 49 bucks even, free shipping for some reason (I know, I wtf'd at that too....).

I mean, it's a sealed box with 3/4" MDF...........can I really go wrong? I know it would be CHEAPER to do it myself, and I'd feel more satisfied, but seriously I can't imagine that the build quality is so poor that it will affect the performance. If I was going ported I wouldn't think of a prefab, but for sealed it seems like the construction is so trivial that it couldn't really matter.

It's the exact perfect volume for my sub and it's small and pre-carpeted...couldn't resist.

Am I going to be dissapointed?

ps- I searched around for qlogic threads but found mostly classifieds and a few posts crusading against their ported boxes, which I'd avoid anyways.

Dont let ANYBODY tell you something is wrong with that box

their sealed boxes are good boxes and well built. if they match the space you need for the sub, they will be alright.

I will not use another Q-Logic box. The cutout is always too big making very hard to mount the sub solid. I have had two of their sealed boxes and while the build qaulity is good I was still unhappy with them. Hopefully you have better luck than me.

yea, i agree, there cutout is about 3/8" too big, but other than that, mine was a fine box
