Ok ... I dont know much about subs, etc... but ya... I built a box for my 2 12" adire shivas a while back... i want it ported... i believe i made the box pretty damn close to recommended specs... with the help of you guys, a while back... but... if i wanted to port it... should i do it myself? or just have another one made to specs with the right port job on it? ... and i wouldnt want to spend a lot of money on that being done eather... so, if it is to buy, where could i get a cheap one made? what site? ... etc... thnx

You will have to build a new box, the requirements of the driver will change from a sealed to ported enclosure. Check out Adire's website, it will give you a little more specifics. -------------

Build a new one, or have one built for you. You might be able to use pieces from the old box on the new one to save a little money. But you cant just add ports to your existing box.
Please dont let this turn into another 10 page thread!!

Klapping, hire it done. You don't have the level of expertise needed to build a vented enclosure. 'Nuff said.

Local shops are your friend here. Print out the specs and take them in and tell them what you want. Buying from a site isnt gonna save you here cause the shipping is gonna add up and anything you saved will be negated. Check your phone book for a good shop

Car audio shops. Don't buy pre-fab off the web. Expect a ported enclosure custom-built to the proper specs for your woofers to cost anywhere from $75 to $300. ------------- Support the12volt.com

Shipping would be ridiculous. Take the speakers to your local shop with any paperwork you may have that came with them. If they are respectable people they will handle everything and not try to sell you new speakers. You can also go to the manufacturers website and find the specs.
