maybe the prefab isn't made to the specs of your sub and is to big and a custom one will fit? or he's trying to make some money? ported not sounding clear in your car not sure though, you do lose some sq going ported, but that's normal. not like the l7 has great sq anyways though.

yea the guy aint rippin me off because he's takin 100 beans off for not telling me earlier. But he said if he used a prefab box it would hit against the trunk and that he'd make me a custom enclosure thatll take up almost all of my trunk space. He said i needed some 2.6 cu ft of airspace or somethin to that effect.

$500 just for installing an amp and alarm?! is that with the box included? how much for the box alone? either way i'd shop around if you can't do it yourself cause that is a rip off. the most i've seen around where i live is about $65-70 for running a mono amp.

well the eclipse had a difficult alarm setup in it so they had to do extra work. w/e lol. But I bought the alarm for 200 they installed it. Put together all the wiring im gonna need once the sub box is made and when all thats set, they're gonna hook the memphis amp and kicker sub on tuesday. all for 500 so i thought that was decent, no?

so there charging $500 for the box, wiring, and install of just the amp/sub? i'd say rip off. or is that including the price of the alarm to?

i'd try getting the price lower cause $300 for a box, wiring for one amp, and install is kinda high. if i was you i'd buy the wiring kit elsewhere for cheaper and maybe get someone else to make the box. i think atf here makes boxes, try getting hold of him and see how much he'll charge.

its not a huge rip off, i mean, you should definitly bargin with the guy and tell them that you got a box here and blah blah that you can do, worst comes to worst, he tells you he wont/cant do it, and you go and build yourself or what not, its do-able you can do it yourself, its just the time you wanna put into it

how big is your trunk? the min rec volume for the L7 ported is 3 cuft. i think it can fit.

$500 just for installing that stuff is expensive. especially if you bought everything there.
