"Pre-fab" box for a w6v2?

[wj94 10+ year member]

My little brother just got a 12" W6v2 for his car and needs a box built for it. However, he's 4 hours away since I'm back at college now. One of my friends was going to build him one and help him with an install, but he wasn't able to bring his tools with him. I've seen this guy selling boxes on ebay for a while now and all of his feedback on the boxes looks great, even though they seem to be "pre-fab" boxes. For $39 + shipping, is this a decent deal for a kid who just wants his system done and isn't a huge audiophile? This is a starter system after all. Here's the link:

Any input?

i will build you a MUCH better box properly sealed, built, glued , screwed. I bough one of thoes boxes and i took apart for fun,the first that happend when i took it out it SQUEEKED, i toor out the carpet saw several gaps, it could move the box with my hand, and it smelled HORRIBLE, i will build you a better box for same price and estimating 20-30$ for shipping. I am MECP certified, have built many enclosures before and i built the cabinets for my HOME THEATHER kits http://hometheatertalk.com/httalk/viewtopic.php?t=13566

since always, n00b.

I bought a dual 12" sealed box from that user a while ago. It was decent but the top squeaked. I fixed by driving a screw in there and it seemed just fine.

Give me a quote including shipping to 20169 for a roughly 1.4 cubic foot box and I'll see what he says. Do you have pictures of any other boxes you've built, as well as some references?

since when have you been a ****ing dumbass and not read the part were i put a link to show some of the cabinets i build for my home theather, and i attended a mobile installtion school and took an enclosure and fabrication class and thats were i got the mecp so that might help in showing this guy that i have somewhat of a clue of what im doing.

As far as references i got a ton on ebay , and a couple on sound illusions and i think one or two here.
