Default custom box

Does anyone know where is a good place to get a custom box made? Quality wise? and Co$t wise?? This is for a 2001 RX300. Thank you.

what kind of subs are going into the box? ported or sealed? theres a spot I go to in walnut creek that does good work. here's what they did for me:




It was completely custom to fit my battery, amp, and capacitor too, as well as a cover to go over the wheel wells. They charge around $60 an hour but well worth it.

Trying to put a 10" shallow sub by Pioneer. They charge $60/hr on making a box or installing everything? And where is this place?

i actually just took a look at my reciept and it said $78 /hr, sorry. it doesnt look like they charged me on any materials. You'r basically payin for the labor. And it shouldnt be too much with just a small sub. It's called East Bay Auto Spa ands its located off Pine St. in Walnut Creek. 925.930.7190. Ask for Rob, he worked on my car and I'm sure he'll remember.

bloo look into image dynamics idq line of subs............they don't take much airspace and you can get some small boxes made on the sides of the cargo area that won't interfere too much with trunk area. check out some of my old posts for the boxes i had made..............will update those pics soon.

PM me if you have not found your private job on this custom box. I can refer you to a friend who has his own shop in his home garage.

Yup, decent work never gets cheap. He knows about A to Z in sound equipment and custom setup for car show, and he is usually 2 months booked ahead.

Email him and let him know you are a clubmate of Joseph at the tire store, and I am sure he will help out the deal.

I already emailed him and meet him up on thursday. He supposed to email me a diagram and what he can do to my car. He told me was about to work a IS350 next. I want to get it done before EOS though. Aiya!

Did you get your car done from him or are you going to? Cause I think he was talking about your car unless it wasnt your car?
