Same problem as the others that can't see, also when I click one it brings me to a page that says An Error Occurred Sorry, an error occurred.

Washed her on Saturday Snow storm on Sunday. So I finally decided to attempt my box Got some tunes going start cutting some wood, the box the wood is under is a failure. Can't wait to try it out tomorrow, Isn't perfect but hopefully will get the job done until the weather is nicer.

^^Might stab someone with that spoon

You need to give more information, such as dimensions you have to fit a box, what your goals are (Do you want it to sound clean? be loud? etc etc) A price range would be nice as well. As far as the capacitor goes from what I've read up on them it will actually be worse for your system then better especially on stock alternator because it just adds 1 more thing to charge.

Too much screen ! Too much screeen!?!?!?!? Kinda sad my 22" LCD is in the shop right now it mounts on my wall to the left of my main monitor.

The shop has a panel saw, and is a car audio shop so I'd imagine that the shop can get a box built within that time period. I have all of the tools you just mentioned, but my circular saw is only a $50 one, Im gonna go buy a nice blade for it and see if I cant get this box built myself.

Its the same for home depot, but I guess it all depends on the person you get to cut your wood. What type of attitude they have, and how friendly they are.

It's always horrible hearing something like that, Sorry for your loss Steve.

Too many variables, Could be anything. A Possibility is the data center the web server is hosted at.

Consider yourself lucky, Cant wait for Fios to be available here

Cant really expect them to cut my entire project, Although asking doesn't hurt. I did ask this at Home Depot and the guy kept going on about how they only cut wood as a courteousy for customers to fit the wood in their vehicle. This man was very unpleasant though and it might of just been one of those situations where the man just miserable, or they see a young guy buying 3/4 MDF and they instantly put it together with an enclosure. And yeah when I go to purchase the wood Lowes is definitely where I'm going, I figured I can have them make the 3 cuts for the top, and bottom, then on the second piece they can make me the two 15.75" strips. This will allow me to fit the wood in my Jeep at any rate.

Well after giving it some though, and getting some quotes. The lowest quote I've gotten Locally has been $240, All the other local shops say they don't build enclosures until early Spring So with taxes in NY State being 8.75% (Or around that) and the shop saying there would be tax it would come to a total of $261 3/4 MDF is only $33.32 for a 48 x 96 Sheet here. So for the price they charge me I can nearly buy 8 sheets of MDF The box itself will only take a sheet and a 3rd So even though I don't have the tools I'd like to use, I do have the appropriate tools and will take my chances and hope that with what we'll call 6 sheets of MDF then glue/screws I can accomplish my box, considering it would be roughly 5 Attempts worth of wood.

If I had access to more tools yes, unfortunately I dont so I've been trying to locate either a local shop, or someone experienced in my area to do it for me. I found a local shop that will build it they quoted $240, they said the higher price was due to the fact it would take them 3 sheets of MDF, and 3-4 hours of labor. As far as I can see it should only take 2 sheets of MDF, As for the hours of labor part I'm not exactly sure how long this box would take But, I do know he told me it would be $140 for the wood, when I know for a fact its $33 per sheet of MDF Here and he tried to argue that I was wrong. So I'm still up in the air and looking around to see if I can find someone better

Yeah after looking at the price of shipping, I went to edit that out but was too late to edit my original post, Im not really into the idea of shipping anymore as it would cost nearly the same price as the box.

Well i guess he never said it was a "low" budget build, so its not completely false!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLwDYGIczc0&feature=youtu.be Just wanted to mention ALL the pictures, and videos in this thread were taken/recorded with a Galaxy Nexus Not too bad for a phone.

Got a bit of video of the subs in action had more I must of deleted on accident, anyways http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bS5lRRTndM8 (This is using a sealed box that is too big, and isn't sealed correctly at all box has major flex issues) Gonna have to get some sound deader, but this weeks leftover money go towards a new box. Gonna have to decide between new front components or sound deader with next weeks.

I want to make a comment in this thread, about that video....but im just speechless.

I've tried searching around the forums for this but its a bit hard due to the size of all the words associated. So I plan on doing the BIG 3 in the next few days and I have my 0 Gauge wires, terminals,and fuse holder only thing left for me to do is get the fuse. On 02 Laredos the stock alternator has an output of 136 Amps, On other forums people recommended a 300 AMP Fuse but wouldn't this render the fuse useless as being such a high overall amp compared to the alt it wouldn't do its job and blow? But at the same time I'm questioning if I should even get a fuse as you can see in the picture below my battery and alternator are nearly touching. In short, What size fuse if any should I use for the BIG3

Tomorrow morning I have to go to a few local car audio shops and see how much they'll charge to build it If you were closer to me I would build it for you. Yeah that $130 in Gas + 2 Sheets of 3/4 MDF would be a bit high Gas would cost more then the box itself
