Well im planning on building my own box, but its a bit tricky as i have no tools and no where to do it (im in an appartment). Going to go to a friends place and do it when i get some time off work. Any way, i saw a used box on craigslist for a 15. It looks like the vrv151 in this link. http://www.lightav.com/car/boxes/subzero/vented.html

wondering if it will do the trick till i have some time or if its not worth it. BTW the guy wants $20

Looks pretty solid to me too. I'd give it a try for $20...

worse comes to worse, if the box is crap, you can always use pieces of it to build a nice one

fire wood, or cl, or do like I did with my old box, made a cat house.... they cost about the same...

thats what i figured. i was suggested 3 cubes at 38 for my sub and this box is 3@35. Port area may be a bit low though.

just a personal preference but i would rather have something tuned a little lower, i just think it sounds better, the box i have now i got when i bought the sub, its at 37 and has some problems getting low. a lower tuning is never a bad thing, unless your going for numbers.

 

[S.P.L.]

SubZero makes good enclosures, american made and usually their pretty expensive, also lightav is a trustworthy seller. I've delt with them before, i think the dude's name that I talk to was Jerry or something close to that (it was a while ago).
