custom box is WAY better than prefabs. sealed prefabs aren't to bad i guess, but ported is even worse. get a nice one made to the specs of the sub and you'll see the difference.

no because prefabs are mass built and custom boxes are CUSTOM built. trust me, custom built is 100 times better... check with fisher or logan

Yeah they do. They're bad quality and most ported ones are tuned way too high.


There are many legit people who will build you a custom box such as:

woodlawn cabinetry
Fishercustoms
Logan
Canaan (I can personally vouch for him, he built my box)

I just noticed what subs you're using...... kicker comps are not exactly real good/powerful subs, so I'd say you could use a prefab for those. It would have to be a sealed though, cause the ported ones will sound like crap (high port tuning).

Well, I've had a couple sealed prefab boxes, and I've made a couple myself. The prefab's were great boxes. As far as ported goes, you just have to find a prefab fit to the specs you want. Not all of them are tuned too high. I've liked Q-Logic boxes in the past, but Kicker also had prefab boxes for some of their subs. So you could go that way.

q-logic boxes suck imo. overpriced cra_p that for the price of it you could get a custom one made. and the kicker prefabs from what i understand are tuned high.

^^^^^ X2

Prefab boxes are not constructed well and usually use thin (like 5/8") MDF. But like I said, for low power subs a sealed one would probably work ok if you could find one the correct volume.
