Group buy: Subwoofer boxes

[jdaigner]

Lukes boxes are the TRUTH!

I'll post some pics up later today when I track down my camera.

I would also like to see some sort of picture.

Will these have the depth to mount a pretty hefty woofer, like a JL 10w6 or an alpine type-R?

Also, will these come carpeted or bare wood?

Oh hell no...however, I certainly could. That box, empty, weighs about 65 pounds, requires significant metal cutting, and keeps me very happy.

The port tubes alone are about $50!

No, guys, we are talking about a simple angled woofer (see how the one in that post is vertical, so if and when I get my "Roundel Window" done the woofer will look pimptastic?) with a flat rear panel. Performance and craftsmanship, plus as small as I can make it with 100% performance.

very, very interisted.
I'll be getting a new E30 soon. Obviously the stero shouldn't be my first concern, but I wouldn't want anyone else building me a box besides you.

Count me in for the 7-10. Also looking to get an estimate on shipping to pittsburgh PA 15116.

Not that there will be any shortage of people to do so, but I'll vouch for Luke's boxes.

[StereoInstaller1]

Sir, I would love to...but I have not built them yet.

Jordan had one of my boxes in his car, as does Browntown and jdaigner.

Oddly enough, mine is built by me, too!

I assure you top quality materials and workmanship. 100% seal into cabin, so no trunk rattles either.

OK, guys, I have had many many people asking me questions about subwoofer boxes, and would I build and ship them.

Well, the simple answer has always been NO. Too much hassle to ship, whatever. Well, lately, I have been sitting on my ass with nowhere near enough work...so...now is the time.

I know with the holidays upon us, most of us are broke. I certainly am, so I feel your pain. But, if you can scrape up a few bucks, here is my deal:

Custom single 10" subwoofer boxes, built to fit your car precisely. Ported through the rear deck, but you have to cut the hole for the ports through the rear deck AND the metal under it. Your port tube will plug directly into the box, precisely correct.

Also included will be a template to make a perfectly fitting panel to dress up the back of the box. You can mount the amps to it if you choose. You could upholster it in matching trunk liner if you choose, or simply spray paint it. All you will need is a quarter sheet of 1/8" "Tempered Hardboard"

I can supply the upholstery material if you choose. You still need to cut the panel out using a simple jigsaw...easy stuff.

My woofer recommendation is the dirt cheap Sony from WalMart. Single voice coil, cheap ass $58 woofer, but absolutely fucking amazing sound IF you put it in the right box...and trust me, this is the right box. If you use the $100 Sony 4 channel amp also found at WalMart, you can run your front speakers off of the smaller half and have audiophile quality sound for a tiny bit of money.

So, get this: This is a GROUP BUY. I normally charge about $300 installed for these in my shop, and I am known for the quality of my boxes.

So, if I get between 4 and 6 people, boxes will be $175, plus shipping.

7 to 10 people will pay $150 each, again, plus shipping. More than 11 will bring the price down to $120.

These boxes will be made of 5/8" MDF, braced, 1.4 cubic feet total, so not exactly lightweight, but under 40 pounds, I am sure. Less than the trunks sound deadning, so if you pull it out, you will still be lighter than stock.

I need to know if you plan on using the sound deadning too, because it adds about 1/2" to the size of the box.

Payment will be in 2 parts. First is the total price of the box. Second will be shipping. I will build and ship all boxes within one week of receipt of payment. You will be billed for the total shipping charges (actual cost plus $5, likely greyhound, whatever works best for your particular application)

So come on R3V, help me stay busy during my second winter! Buy a box!
