Custom Boxes

Does anyone know about what the price would be for a local audio store to build a custom box to fit in that hole in the back of a TA hatch. I think it would be cheaper to build it myself but i need to know how to make one if anyone could tell me or give me a link that'll give me instructions on it because i know you have to have a certian volume for them to work right.

I was quoted anywhere from $500-800 for a fiberglass one from Tweeter.

Well, yah, the materials are next to nothing. It's all the fabrication that adds up in costs!

I've tried it many times, and I can never get it right. Plus I'm not one to stick with a project or have patience.

btw, br()bert is the MAN when it comes to audio, that guy knows his stuff!!
