Gauging interest in my sub box
 
I've had my box for sale now for a while, it just seems like nobody is interested. Is there something wrong with it other than that I use it as a storage device? I would carpet it but with my luck I will use black carpet and someone will want it in the beige or gray color, so I'm really trying to not carpet the box. Does anyone have any pointers on how they would want their box if they could build one out of wood? Here is the link to my for sale post that contains pictures:

well dude. it is a space saver. however i dunno if the dimensions of the box will allow for a good sub to hit hard or even clean. and what size would it even fit well? its a nice idea and looks good tho. (should put in a slotted port somewhere)

Most sealed 10" subs require between .75 cu ft and 1.25 cu ft, 12" subs require about the same. This box is actually 1.2 cu ft, I know it looks small, but it is deceptively tall. Its too small to port, it would sound like crap if I ported it. I wouldn't use it in a "high power" setting, but its made out of 3/4" cabinet grade plywood so it will not blow out easily if used with high power. It should put out a decent amount of bass, of course it depends on what you want to put in there.
The hole is currently for a 10" but I can resize it for a 12". I don't want to carpet it until I get a buyer, so that I can match the carpet to the car and not have to redo anything.

the box is too small. What's the volume of that box?

I went and remeasured it today, it was 1 cu ft. which is enough for most 10" and some 12" subs. Its not built to be earth shattering, but to complement a not too crazy sound system. I think it would be nice for someone who just wants a little more than what the car came with without losing any significant part of the trunk.

edit:
Just look at the specs for the 10" and 12" Type R, a very capable and somewhat inexpensive sub (the box enclosure specs are on page 4)

this is surprising, no takers? Im glad I didnt make that fiberglass box or i would have not been able to unload that either. I guess the fiberglass parcel shelf i was going to make is going to be put on hold until i can actually use it. I thought there would be more interest in custom stuff, guess i was wrong.

no. dude. its a good box. i wouldve been a lot more interested if i didnt already have a sub box already. it looks clean but could be a bit modified a slight. buts its cool. sry to see no one had an interest in getting it off ur hands.
