Default Fiberglass box

Alright guys I need a stealth fiberglass box to hold my 10" sub in the drivers side. I bought a stealth box but my sub will not fit in it, it's too deep. So I am selling it, but I need to know where I can get a custom fiberglass one, so my subwoofer will fit, plus it would be around .8cu ft, which is perfect for my sub, a Pioneer TS-W256C. So if anyone could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks
Matt

What enclosure did you buy? The mounting depth on that sub is only 5 5/8" deep. I make them out of fiberglass for $109.00 plus shipping. Here's a link:

The one you have in the picture looks like it is for a 12" sub and has about 1cu.ft. of airspace volume as it kind of wraps around up into the wheel hump area. The only way I make one of those is if I have the car.

Yeah you are correct on the mounting depth, but the sub hits the wood on the inside on the second smaller little box portion. I got the box off a member on this site, he was selling them $75 shipped. That picture above is just a reference, I just want a box that fits my 10" sub with about .8cu ft of airspace. As you can see the difference of the inside of the two boxes, mine hits inside the wooden one. That fiberglass pic above supposedly has a little more than .8cu ft.

Pics of mine.

You wouldn't have that issue with mine. Mine only has an mdf face for mounting the sub to it. The rest is fiberglass. You can fit a 10" L7 solobaric in one of my enclosures. They have 6 3/16" of mounting depth and there is still room. If you go to my website there are 2 more enclosures I've done listed there in the gallery tab. One was the L7 Solobaric and the other was an Infinity Perfect 10. I have built several more for members here and occationally will sell one on ebay. I have 2 almost ready to go out now and one more I'm building starting tommorrow so I'm not new to making these.
Yours looks very nice and seems well constructed. It just isn't a good fit for that particular sub. Someone with a smaller 10" subwoofer (basket and magnet) might want to give it a shot.

I'd like one of your fiberglass stealth boxes for the drivers side for my sub. In the same gray carpet as the one I have pictured. PM me

Thank you

The first pic is of my fiberglass box I built myself. It is for a single 12" and has just under 1CuFt of airspace. Look at the link to my site for specifics on how it was built if you want to attempt building yourself one.

I thought that was your box. I remember seeing pics of it from awhile ago.
