First and foremost this isnt some audiophile review or install or anything. I just wanted to provide pictures and information about this subwoofer box because I bought it without seeing too many reviews.
Info About The Box:
The box is custom made by Audio Designs & Custom Graphics in Jacksonville. I bought it online and had it shipped. Their website has some information about the boxes (driver or passenger side) here and you can buy the box here. I already had a sub so the empty box costed $280 and overall was about $320 shipped to South Carolina.
The box itself is custom cut sheets of MDF stacked and glued together. They form the shape to fill the cavity in the trunk. The inside is sealed with fiberglass resin and it comes preinstalled with speaker wire.The speaker wire in the box is 12 gauge, seemed to be sealed pretty well. All the visible areas of the box are carpeted, but the back is not.
Mine had a slight scuff or something that the carpet didnt cover but overall is in pretty good shape.
My Personal Thoughts:
I tried to use fiberglass matt and resin to build a custom box in my last car. I spent about $130 and countless hours of labor just to make a subpar product. That is what convinced me that $300 really isnt too bad. I previously had my sub sitting in a big ported box, so I am very happy to have regained usable trunk space. My car is optioned with a spare tire, so I decided I didnt mind having my amp and LOC attached directly to my sub. I need to cut my trunk mat to access my spare now though.
The box fits really well in the space. Its my first time having a sealed box in my ~8 years of driving, so the sound definitely seems kinda quiet to me, but it sounds good.
Don't judge my wire management I mostly drive by myself lol
My old subwoofer setup (i knew i was eventually buying a new box)
