   if you are good with woodworking you could try to make your own box and be alot more proud of yourself in the end. since you know the specs all you have to do is measure cut and cover. measure  L x W x H and divide by 1728 find your perfect requirements for your subs and your car and start cutting. then scew together and spray adheisive some covering of your choice and boom your done , try that or spend twice as much or more and go to your locol shop and have them do it.

I also recommend building your own. plus its fun. you can say..hey i made that. Also those one fits all boxes..arent that great.  By making the box by factory specs, the subs will sound better.

I bought one. I couldn`t buy the wood for what you can buy a good box for. I found a good one on E-bay and it was quality constructed. Nice heavy wood, all glued and sealed, heavy connectors in the back. CAUTION! If the box I bought turned out to be garbage, I was going to store chains in it. Lot of junk on E-bay. Be careful.
