Just got a quote for the enclousure and does 800 bucks sound like to much for it.

hmm.. I've asked about getting subs built in with just wood and carpet and they quoted 600 so I'd say thats pretty good.. are you going to show your car? I dunno maybe its just me but I think some of the fiberglass enclousures are kinda ricey.. but yeah if you really want it go for it

$600 for a wood box seems high. My box was built to specs w/ 3/4" MDF and carpeted for $300. Is fiberglass THAT much more?

IS that like custom flush mounting to make it look like it came from factory.

I think I can make him come down on the price of the box. Maybe if they do just carpet and wood i wonder if that would work.

you think fiberglass enclosures are ricey or did you mean pricey??

i think a well done fiberglass enclosure looks 10 times better than a big clunky wooden box.

well it looks good in some cars but I don't think it would look right in a tl and you can have wooden enclosures built into the trunk just as you can fiberglass
