how much did you spend on them?? i like them on the lifted trucks but not so much on the stock size ones especially if you have wide tires

What kind of tools do you have available? You could build one with a circular saw and a jig saw, but a table saw makes things a little easier. Then you just need the fiberglass mat and resin.
exactly its alot more labor then most people think .. they want a custom box for 100 bucks and then want to get mad when you say no lol

btw i'm talking in general not about you lol

I agree. If you factor in materials and about 6-8 hours labor, at a conservative $25/hr, you are well over $200. Then if you figure a stereo shop doing the work with large overhead, that labor cost could get upwards of $75-100/hr. If I was running a stereo shop, I wouldn't build the box I have for less than $500.

I think a fox box or custom fiberglass box is your only option.
