Box from car toys.. Any Good?

The only thing that gets me is the high density partical board. This looks cheap but my speakers are 150RMS 300max. Thinks its worth it? I think a bad bass might be better and I should save my money. This looks like the kinda stuff at that mexican flea market "The Bizarre"

How do they expect to sell over the net when they dont give you a pic or size of the box here. You can blow me car toys.

for 30 bucks of materials and a few hours of your time you can build a better box

There are a couple forum members selling boxes at or below that price, and their stuff seems to be higher quality.

$70 for a Dual 10"

Thats a terrible price, Car Toys is always trying to rip people off. If you want a dual 10" I have a way better deal on them at www.subenclosureoutlet.com

How in the hell are you selling those for $35 plus shipping? My materials costs are higher than that.

I couldn't turn a profit at that price if I was paying an illegal immigrant $.25 an hour to build my boxes.

I have very close ties to a manufacturer. We sell to Kicker, Mobile 1, and RF. So if you get one of those boxes it was most likely built in our factory.
