    Okay, so I recently ordered a system for my 04' Nissan Altima bc I got it for christmas and it should be coming in pretty soon. I was on a budget so I was not able to buy a pre made sub enclosure and I was told that the pre made ones arent that great most of the time anyways. I have a big dilemma though, I know that I definately want a ported one bc thats the style of sound that Im going for but after looking at some tutorials I really don't think I have any idea how to build one. Is there anyone here that would b willing to make one and I can buy it??? or maybe anyone here from North Carolina??? Im willing to meet up or take advice from anyone!!!

    If you go to home depot or lower and buy a sheet of 3/4in mdf they will make the cuts for you... some places will do all the cuts you want for free but some only do 3free and the rest at a 25cent rate... which isnt bad... the guys here will design you something then you just get the boards cut for you to put together its not that bad.

    also, i was reading about box designs today and I found out that there are some pretty strange designs. are any of those convenient to use or are they not worth it?
