I havnt been able to find anyone I like around here. I've either let Boomsday or cherry customs take care out it out of frustration. Although me and my neighbor are starting to get a bearings for it, about to buy a plunge router so our cutouts look better. What side of Houston you on?

Currently in hockley by 1488 & 1774 pretty much next to tomball down 249.
I did the same thing, but to get a whole wall shipped would be expensive.
Ive had a reputable shop quote 1200$, but thats crazy for a wall.. Material would only be in the 400$ or less cost so id be paying 600$ in labor.
I knew a guy named kurt who does good builds, but i dont have his number.

I'd say the absolute last thing you want to do is cheap out on a wall. It's very permanent and a big investment whether you get it right the first time or wrong and have to do it over. IMO 1200$ seems cheap once you figure lumber, screws and random hardware, wire, glue, paint/carpet and labor. I'd quote at least that and I don't even have a shop to pay the rent, lights, taxes, and insurance to keep open.
Make a stand with a piece of plywood on top the same height as your table. Mount the circular saw underneath and slowly lower the depth to cut a zero clearance slot for the blade. Then make a "T" square using some scrap MDF or something that doesn't warp easily (baltic works too). Just clamp that down to the table and you have yourself a fence.
Kurt would be pretty close to that price you were quoted, I didn't even think of him and Kyle, your looking for a 2 18" wall correct? I'll ask him what he might want
$1200 seems pretty cheap if it's going to be quality work and done right. Considering some shops charge $3-400+ for a "custom" ported box and easily more than $600 in labor for a simple install. (Wires, HU, Amp, etc)
Personally, if I wanted a wall, half the fun would be me building it and knowing that my hard work created it. Paying someone else to do it wouldn't be satisying at all.

So you can't buy the tools you need with the 500$ you'll save by DIY?
