iamduff Unregistered guest | ok i am going to make a custom box for my V-Max. It will be 2.6 cu ft and tuned around 34-36 i believe. anyway the question i have is how much will that normall cost for jsut the materials. (wood, carpet, glue, and clips for wire(cant remember the name) also i will have the front piece doubled to give a flush mount look to the sub) also another question i have i thought about when designing my box...if i made 1 large port instead of the two smaller ones im using. could i possible mount a mirror and a music pulsing neon inside the box? how would that end up working out?? thanks |

The most expensive thing is gonna be the plexi and MDF. The rest of the stuff is pretty cheap. Few bucks each. Do you have the tools?? There is a site that makes custom Acrylic Enclosures... Pretty cool. http://www.gatelyaudio.com/ |
