Default R U interested in a D.S. rear Sub Box

3 yrs. ago I had purchased a Stealth Box off ebay and it only has about a 1/3 of a cubic ft of air space, not much for sub recommendations. So I decided to come up w/ my own design. I am currently in the process of making these... I have a prototype that has a fiberglassed molded back to get as much air space as possible. I currently have a box that I made installed in my TA and love the performance out of it. If there's alot of interests in this I will produce these to sell. So let me know if you're interested so I know if I need to get off my A$$ to make a lot of these. Here's some pics

This is the so called Stealth box I purchased off ebay. Not much Air Space!


This is a box that I made, and will be selling ones like it if the interest is there!

Very clean. You would just need to match the charcoal interior. Nice job tho.

I seen this box on ebay, and when I purchased mine 3 yrs ago, I had not seen anyone making anything like this...Not only that but I paid $110 shipped for something that would've worked but just didn't have enough air space for a sub, IMO! I had my first prototype made 2 yrs ago and have never publicly asked if anyone was interested untill now. My box is constructed of 3/4 MDF like all other top box builders use, and fiberglass resin applied to fleece material to give a hard formed structure. I'm looking at a projected price of around $85.oo shipped, due to vary a little! So if the interest is there let me know.

I'll say.. my boxes have about $50 just in the materials in them, plus it takes about 4 to 5 hours to make one.

where you been, I've been trying to sell these on fba since october.

I have 3 shells made for the 3 orders I'm taking on ebay. Once they are done, I'm done with sub boxes until summer.

Well it looks like I have about 5 interested so far. I have half of the MDF cut for 11 boxes and I'll probably have enough to make a total of 20 right now. I'll see how many more people respond to this, so probably in a couple of weeks, I'll start asking for cutout sizes and fabric colors.
