Your box should be big enough to allow the subwoofer to reach full excursion without being an infinate baffle (so large that it seems like its not in a box). This number will vary between subwoofers and is directly related to the subwoofer's VAS spec. The manufacturer of your woofer will usually tell you how large to make the box either …

    I had an idea a few weeks back. Shipping has always been a huge concern of mine. Its not so much the weight of the enclosures that's a factor, but rather the bulk. A medium sized box shipped to california is at least $60, which is a cost I'm forced to pass on to the customer. Packaging enclosures is also an important issue. According to UPS guidelines, I have to packgage each box with corrugated cardboard and seal it up with mailing tape. Packaging enclosures is a costly and time consuming process, which again is an expense that gets passed on to the customer. My idea is to sell the boxes as kits. Each kit would include everything you need to assemble a subwoofer box. A…

    Gnome Audio was officially founded earlier this year (04) as an official supplier of custom subwoofer enclosures. Since inception, we have sold more than 100 custom units to individuals across the united states. Thats a lot more than we ever dreamed was possible. This business was first conceived on the principal that nobody should get mistreated or overlooked because they don't have much to spend. We try to provide a high-quality product at the lowest possible price. Although it would be a lot cheaper to just build the box yourself, it's a lot easier to contract us to build it for you and it insures a quality end result. If you're unsure about your building skills or si…

    Hello gnome (nickname for ya). anyways, I currently have a subzone pre-fabbed box from 4 yrs ago (before they started building QUALITY boxes) and i have a feeling it is DESTROYING my SQ on my new JL sub. I have never owned a JL sub so I can't say that I know exactly what it should sound like but I know it shouldn't sound like a SPL sub (like my old audiobahns). Just curious if the box isthe culprit and if so, then I am at the right place =) BTW, the jl sub askes for 1.25 cu ft sealed. But I want to go ported because I hear its a MUST! I have no idea about the frequency or even how its measured. I hear that lower freq. means SQ and higher freq. means SPL. is this true? W…

    I have two boxes right now that have been returned for credit by their original purchasers. Both are in perfect condition and I'm offering them for less than they originally sold for. The first is a 1.5 sealed box for a single 12". It's built to the ED O series specs on ED's website and has a large cup terminal. I will let this one go for $50+shipping. The second is a 4.5 cuft duel-tuned ported box for 2 12's. The first port is tuned to 62hz with MASSIVE port area for SPL comps and the included plug changes the tuning to 34hz for daily use. This box also includes a large cup terminal. I will sell both box and port plug with all required mounting hardware for $130+shipping…

    Hi Gnome. I was curious if you could possibly (literally meaning if it's even possible) to make a list of estimated prices for what size and type of box. This way, customers can see what they are working with in $ area. For example, throw out a few of your most popular requests and make a price for them. Do a few sub models and prices for those boxes. Or if you want to get even more broad, just list around how much a single and a double box would cost. prices for each size would work fine I assume. Just a suggestion. And your happy customers should email you back some pics of their subs installed.

  23. Im wanting to say that the enclosure that I ordered shipped last Tuesday (or maybe Wednesday) but I still havent seen any sign of it. Its only shipping down to Kentucky from Ohio (so just a state down), so it doesnt seem like shipping time should be very long. Of course I have never ordered anything like this so I dont know how long these things take to get from place to place, and I dont know how it was shipped (Fedex, USPS, UPS) and dont have a tracking number to check it out. It shipped, so I know it will get here (Heaven forbid it get lost or something), but I really am just asking how long these things are usually in transit, and was hoping some of you who have or…

If you think you'd like to be a part of the team, shoot me an email and we'll talk business. I have three levels of sponsorship. You must complete the first level before moving on to the second and so forth. Level 1 - Benefits: I will build your box at costs (no labor charge). You only pay for the cost of the materials and shipping. Requirements: You must compete in at least 4 major competition circut events (MECA, dB Drag, IASCA, NSPL, etc.) and show proof (score sheet) for each event.You must own and use a Gnome Audio enclosure for these competitions…
