sub boxes?

I have an s14 and can't seem to find a box that'll fit in the back, any suggestions other than building my own, any boxes that fit?

- buy some MDF (medium density fiberboard) from home depot and make your own. Its cheaper than buying a sub box too...

Look into fiberglass. Its much more tasteful than a MDF box, although the MDF box I have in my hatch only cost 10 bucks to make.

are you going for sound or looks? not to put down fiberglass but if you still want good sound from for system you cant make it from fiberglass inless you are extremly good and have a ton of room. if you want it to sound good go with mdf its cheap and if you on a budget just put nice cloth it well look good or you can make it from MDF so it sounds good and lay fiberglass over it you well still have good sound but have the look of fiber glass depends what are looking for...

over all to answer your question you best bet is to build it yourself take your time and mold it nice i did mine looks great totally custom

-if its a "custom" look that your going for, just make the skeleton out of MDF (including the sealed box portion), then lay the glass over the top and paint.

I beg to differ. Fiberglass is for boxes that are going in tight places. You don't have to be extremely good either just take your time. Any idiot can do it.

I have 2x12's, I think I'm gonna buy a q-logic one, I read the specs it should fit, I don't care how it looks.
