Default pricing for a custom sub box

I have seen some very impressive subwoofer/amp setups in these forums, and was wondering how much it would cost to get one made. Thanks

http://www.subthump.com/ i think this was so obvious to most, that they didnt want to help right away. They have specific models for camaro and firebird as well as others.

i hate to be the one to say this but if you search " custom sub box" or something even close to that, it would take about 30secs to come across that site...

I agree with the quote about. uuh, well. Without being specific, on excately what your looking for, i think that it would be kinda hard to put a price on it.

Yep, check out subthump.com. They have a selection to chose from.

If you have semi decent wood working skills, you can build a your own for a fraction of the cost.

If your about custom fiberglass work.... thats gonna be a hellofalot priceyer.

You are new here and come with almost no information and then seem upset that no one helped you after only 24 hours??

Start by reading the stickys and use the search button and you'll get tons of ideas. You can spend anywhere from 200-5000 for amps, enclosures and subs but unless you are more specific than your first post and give an idea of what your budget is no one can really help you.

Unless you intend on competing, I would recommend the subthump or drop-in enclosure. Once you involve glass (as in fiberglass) or custom work, you are potentially talking big dollars! Quotes will vary from fabricator to fabricator.

Trust me, I know all too well

I believe you may be able to ask the question on this link, as some of these guys actually fabricate some boxes specifically designed for f-bodies, or just search the web.

about a hundred bucks in materials, and countless hours in labor (but that's for a custom one off rear seat delete box designed to fit into a completely custom interior).

But the last time I made a fiberglass stealth for someone, I charged $300.

I was quoted at Future Shop 800 for a fiber glass box.

But they had to have the car and the air temp at room temp.. in other words they didn't want to try a fiberglass box in the winter or late fall.

fiberglass I would think should be lighter than 3/4" MDF by far...
