I got quoted $1500 to make a box with 2 10W6v2s...face them in the car with the slot port blowing in through the ski hole.....mirror the inside with a bunch of blue LEDs.....is that too much for that kind of box? He would charge me $2800 to do the box....finish off the rest of the trunk and the price includes the 2 subs.

 

YES

 

Does that $1500 include the subs? Even if it does, $1500 is a bit steep in my book.

 

Yes...that would include the subs.

What should the price be!!!????

 

Never mind....that doesn't include the subs....Thats because he said he uses a mirror laminant for the inside of the box ($150)...the Lexan ($350) and 15-20 hours of labor.

 

LOL, now we charge a good amount, but honestly, we'd build that same enclosure for about 1/2 that price.

 

I should come out to Jersey and get everything done by you guys! I have a cousin that live right of of I-80....Succasuanna....how close are you guys?

 

LOL are u kidding me?? $1500 for a fucking custom enclosure?? O my god, major anal rape-age. As Street said, it should be atleast 1/2 of that price...

 

Where did you get that quote at?

 

AutoSound Inc.

 

never heard of it, try a couple other spots...see what they say...

 

Yeah, defintely check out some other shops. Ask around your buddies and see what shops they recommend and drop them a line. I'm almost positive you can reduce that price a great amount. Just take some time & research, and you'll save alot of $$$

holy shiat.... i do this kinda work on a small scale basis. and omfg i would do it for 500. maybe ill drive up from stl to do it.... sigh


oh and btw.... lexan is like 25 bucks for a small sheet.

 

Hobo...lets see some pics of your work!

 

Nicky, you not go to mark sound anymore. I had them reinstall my metra that tweeter did 3 times and stilll rattled. They fixed it no problem and for a good price. Just curious

 

gimme a few weeks,

my partner and i are just finishing up a fiber glass trunk for a pathfinder...

we just finished the sub box ( 2 15's angled in, with 2 midbass 10's finign up on each side, and a ps2) its going off to be painted, should have pics soon. (also going in are headrest tvs, fiberglassed dash, amp rack, and some other goodies...) this car is pimp, its on 22's....

anyways id love to post some pics when im done.... this project has been eating all my time i usually spend with my g/f

 

Mark sound....never heard of it...where are they?

 

should check out music in motion as well....its down in south suburbs they do some very good installations. oh, and i figured out why my w7's werent hitting right....only one of the amps that i bought was working...well at least fully.....i think its hitting about 25%. thats what i get for getting shit on the streets. altho, i only spent $400 for what i wouldve bought retail for $1200, so i cant complain just need to get it fixed now...at least one of the SLAP cars i know was done at music in motion that 4 13.5 w7 is listed on their website grand am or something i think..they are expensive as well, but might be better than that place.

 

Only about 40 minutes away,not far. Also, if you are hesitant to have something built out there, we can build you this enclosure and ship it. We just did a trunk for someone in Baton Rouge, LA and shipped it to them. Up to you

 

So then...you've done a ton of CLs....What would you charge to make a box (maybe some 10W6v2s) That has a plexiglass rear panel and make the inside of the box painted or mirrored. I want the box to fit under the rear deck....kinda like Ernie's CL. HOW MUCH $$$$$??

 

who's "ernie" and what's his CL look like?

 

Go to street effects website....you'll see.

 

Wow...Thats good to know. I'm assuming it arrived undamaged? Was it assembled? What vehicle was it for and what was the setup? How much was shipping?

Thanks, J.T.

 

I'm sure they could even put it in a crate.....or something!

 

We built a custom floor with full access to the spare tire, a box for 2 12" JL10W3V2 subs, backlit plexi ampracks for a Diamond Audio and JL amplifier. You'll see in the pics the neons for the amp racks....the amps sit on standoffs that will block the neon and just show the edge of the plexi glowing.

All holes are predrilled for simple installation. All the custom has to do is set it in the car and screw it all together in the marked spots.

Here's a link to some pics of it:

Ron,
That's so nice. Simple looking but very clean.

Did you have the design copyrighted? Could I steal the idea for my next setup

 

streeteffectz how much would something like that cost?

 

How Much!!!

 

That setup, as you see it with the floor, box, two amp racks, plexi glass, neon lighting, etc etc was about $1250 SHIPPED. The shipping on it was $250 by itself, so the trunk was $1000.

 

Where is the Plexi?

 

On top of the amp racks.

 

I'm paying 500 for custom everything in my trunk a custom box for a 15 and dynamating the inside of the box and that price includes the labor and an adapter where i dont ahve to take out my bose unit...and hook the sub up str8 to the unit so its not ghetto rigged and connected to my 6x9's

 

$500 is about right from the sounds of what you are doing

 

im paying 700 for my setup which includes 3 new rca's, full trunk..(no carpet!!! vynal,aluminum,)amp rack to hold 3 amps sealed box with a 3/4" thick plexi window(hard to explain how it looks)to see the magnets(they are sexy)neons/led's(from the dam vw's, dam bright) fiberglass to make it all roll together, 2 fuse blocks, new 4guage wire from batt, also covers wiring up all 4 speakers to the amp, the 2 subs, cap and dynamatting ...getting the alpine tme-m760 in there soon too..... i dont know where u live in chicago but if its not too far check out tweeter in crystal lake, ask for kevin the installer or carlo, tell em doug sent you, they sould be able to hook ya up depending what u want. he does really amazing work as well. hes also hookin my neons i already have installed to my doors for free so when i open the doors they turn on..also hes re-wiring my viper 790xv alarm system..last guy who installed it did a half ass job.. but their number is 815-788-0615.

 

this is the box.. ( pre paint of course, we are going with a grapthite with metalic flake in it)we decided to change the design a bit and now the amps wil lappear to float on aluminum racks, and there will be some additional plexi work, should be finished in 3 weeks or so. luckily the client is working on the project and we are only putting like 3 hours a day into it total and changing our minds a lot.

 

Red X!!!!
