Default How good are ebay boxes?

I don't have time to build another box so i was thinking about buying an ebay style one off of ebay or this one store near me. I can get it for ~50-60$. I was wondering how do they work out? Ive seen them before and they seem to use the same wood i use for building my boxes. I am thinking aobut getting a dual 12 for the trunk.

As long as they're 3/4" MDF, they seem fine from what I've heard.

Some seem to not have seperations between the 2 chambers as well. Also pay attention to airspace volume. And as fred said, 3/4 MDF...no less!!

This for example, does not give airspace and also doesn't tell you the MDF depth (at least I couldn't find it). http://cgi.ebay.com/CUSTOM-12-SUBWOO...QQcmdZViewItem

I have seen pics of that exact box installed and it looks good, fits well, and colors match. The installer thinks it was 3/4" MDF, and said that the construction seemed good.
