what should I be asking a box builder?

~3.89ft^3 before sub/port displacement...nowhere near big enough for a pair of 12's. It'd be good for a pair of 10's though, or a single 12.

I have room width wide. Lets say we add 5-8"s to the width, will that be better?

with 40" width you're looking at 4.83ft^3 before displacements...you could probably use those lvl3's in that space.

yeah 40"s is almost double the width... the box wont fit. I gave these measurements because my trunk sort of curves in at the end and with this box size it fits nicely in between that curve. If I move it up a bit I can get some more length let me go measure right now

okay the max I can increase length by is 2.5"'s, width by 8"s and height by 2.5"s... is that any better

You may want to contact bassman3. His work looks great and he is in Portland, Oregon so shipping up to wa or canada would be more reasonable.

So what exactly would your max dimensions be? Just want to double-check.

PM me or post here how much you would charge for a basic ported box for 2 12s.
I asked him about sealant inside the box he said he could use liquid nail for free, and if thats not good I'm sure I could pay a little extra to get something better. Whats a good port size?

I use Liquid Nails glue and then use a waterproof sealant. Ill pass on the offer. Dont think I would make much money because of the shipping charges to Canada.

34.5"x25"x17.5"

34.5"x25"x17.5"

You can definitely make a pair of lvl3's work in that.

34.5"x22"x15" will work.
