Sorry I did not see the shipping, I use Amazon Prime.

That box is absolute shit. That will not ever make deep, clean, articulate bass. Shit material, shit "design" and shit construction.

The box OP made was made of MDF, which is what this is piece of shit is made of. Its not like hes chopping down oak trees to make his box.

Ever heard of LYING?

That box is not MDF.

The one the OP built is, that is the proper material.

How many hundreds of those same bullshit boxes have YOU heard? Take a quick guess how many I have...with 30 years of professional car stereo installer experience...take a quick guess.

Those bullshit prefab boxes are crap.

[JUMPNYC]

It cost me about $130 for it all. Hahaha the sheet of MDF cost more then the sub. For $39 it cant be beat.

The OP said it was costructed of MDF ...We are talking about a 39 dollar box. not having one custom built! How am I LYING, the ad on Amazon even states the box is Constructed in Premium 3/4" MDF.

BTW how much would you charge for a custom box? In the hundreds? I am just saying for that material, using MDF he could have saved cash and time.

[StereoInstaller1]

Dude, I did not mean to imply I thought YOU were lying, I am saying that ad on Amazon is wrong.

This is a 15 year old kid building his first box. The "get boom nao" is NOT the goal here.

[JUMPNYC]

Got it. Respect! OP keep building speakers man! You are right you gotta add in the priceless knowledge of hands on experience. Paint that box and take more pics!

[KenC]

There's nothing "premium" about those mass-produced pre-fab boxes.

That box is not MDF.

So if it's not MDF - What's it made of?

Ohhhhhhhh. Now this one looks great:

i believe OP was stating that the sub was 39, the MDF cost more than the sub.

[5Toes]

Yes only the woofer was $39. Besides this box is tuned to that woofer, and that response curve is impressive? Isn't it? Luke back me up here\.

Anyways yeah I dont know how to cover it. The connections inside are just electrical taped together real good right now, I need to fix that, didn't have any solder last night.

They make carpet for covering your custom creation, or you can paint it. I would use some thick ass textured automotive undercoating spray, in black or grey. Would that stuff mess with the bass you get out of a custom box? Im just thinking durability, and once again cheap price.

Also I am guessing this is not built for your e30, but a home system?

[E30Nova]

Your voice cracked. lawl.

[AbsorbantNut]

yeeeeaaaahhhh

bass, bass, bass
