how come no company sells premade enclosures for 2 or even one 18 inch subwoofer? everybody sells enclosures for 10' 12's and 15's but no 18's. I know prefab boxes aint the best but their has to be an market out there..........

How many people actually buy 18's vs. 10's and 12's? The market is so small that to carry a box this large that usually will not fit most vehicles leaves these boxes sitting in the store collecting dust.

Rob hit it right on the head, supply and demand. Also think about how hard it would be to put a prefab box for an 18 into a vehicle.

Im not sure where your from but im from the Houston area. There are about a dozen huge Flea markets in the area most of which have some kind of Pre Fab box for 18s. But then again most of them have 2 inches of dust on them also.

When I was a JL dealer,we sold more 18W6 and 18W3 than any dealer in ND.Not one of my boxes were the same.Supply and Demand.Hell you can build a box that better fits you vehicle anyway.
