I have a 15" Brahma that will be installed in a 2001 Civic. I'm considering purchasing a SubZero pre-fab enclosure that is specifically designed for this subwoofer. The lowest price I've found for this box is $275 USD (Ahhh!!!)
I understand the SubZero boxes are a great product and are a great match for these subs. I don't want to compromise sound quality at the expense of a box considering how much money I've already spent.
Can anybody offer a suggestion or an alternative?

Go to a local shop and have them build you one. It may be a bit cheaper. If it isn't get the subzero, they are great. ------------- Nik

A local shop in Canada had quoted me about $175 to build a box. My only reservations are if it will be braced properly and would the quality be as good?

Ask them for a price if they build it out of 1" mdf and brace the heck outa it. Also, be shure to contact Adire for the reccomended air space and tell the box builder thats what you want and need.

A&B Sound will be doing the install; I'm not sure if you're familiar with them but they supposedly have some good installers.
If the difference in price is negligible (ie: $50-75), would you recommend going with the SubZero box?

Your going to find that very few shops can produce a box like the ABS seris from Subzero. I have the ABS122 for my Eclipse subs and it's the best box I have ever seen.. The quality is unbelieveable. This guy makes awesome boxes as well https://www.woodlawncabinetry.com/index.html ------------- Eclipse "Approaching Perfection"
