    Alright so the crap stock box i have is done officially, i just put about $8 in screws into it to hold it together. i need an estimate for a DIY box of 3/4 MDF. got my job yesterday and finished out my first day a couple hours ago so i finally have some income again besides unemployment, any way! its going to be a month or so untill i have some dissposable income, so how much would a box roughly cost? i cant get any measurments on the speakers required size, but they are 2 12 SVCs the box they are in is about 3.8ft^3 and wuad ported with round ports about 2 inches deep each and 2 inches wide, the box is a piece of sh!t for sure. so any ideas?

    also, it should only cost like 35 to 40 dollars without carpet.

    23 for mdf and re use the screws you put into the other box. 9 bucks for 2 yards of black or grey carpet at walmart. 4 for a can of spray glue.

    yes it is. it was cheaper and better than what they had at my local fabric store, but you get 2 choices. blk or grey. either work in my case:D
