I went to a shop to get a quote on having a fiberglass enclosure built...something like a stealthbox, but made to hold a 12" IDQ sub. I was told that I'd be charged their general labor rate of $85/hr, and that it would take two full days.

Let's see...$85 x 2 days x 8 hours/day = way more f*@!^&# money than I was planning to spend!!!!!!!!

This this a typical quote for fiberglass work? I was expecting $200-$300, so it really blew me away!

ya near IL?? for $200 and enough beer to keep me motivated, we'll set ya up.

that would be like 1200 bucks just get the jl box. it should be like $430-500. its worth it and it already comes with a speaker

or you could just buy it from stan (stan2gnt) used.

damn!! what shop did you go to? that is waaaaaay too high! i think there are some shops that will do a custom setup (fiberglass) for like 300-400.

haha... but i dont think youll beat 200 and some beer! good deal bro! haha

>or you could just buy it from stan (stan2gnt) used.

I just noticed it on eBay. hmm...i would have been interested before, but I already have a 12" IDQ sub on the way from sounddomain.com.

I might check a couple more shops this week...if I can't find anything reasonable, I might go for Stan's box and return the IDQ...but I did have my heart set on a 12"

Unfortunately, I'm in NJ, so I can't take koolade up on his offer :(

mother fucka, 200 and beer, dude in the words of sugar hill gang, jump on it, do it dude, mail him like 300 (100 worth of beer, blake has a drinking problem :) ) and maybe he could even ship it to you

Or actually you can do what i am gonna do and make my own, it might be hard but will be worth it in the end.

hahahaha!!

lmao, in that case maybe i'll send you some beer money to get you started on my kicks, and then we'll work a deal on the final price when you're done ;)

you buy the beer and supplies and help me, i could have it done for less than 150. but you have to be here in san diego first though.

haha, maybe Blake will settle for cereal instead...

I knew I'd catch shit for those pictures... but hey sometimes cereal is best at 1 am. and if you still want a set of kicks, I just got done with my finals and bought 8 gallons of resin.... let the fun begin:)

>first though.

hey bro, in interested in the set up and Im from San Diego as well..let me know if I can get you on that deal still coo? hit me up at 619-300-5847 or drop me a line at drbalazo@hotmail.com..thanx

still thinking about it Blake, i may be emailing you.

Hell Blake I think I'll take you up on that offer when the weather turns nicer and I have a steady job. I want to lighten up the rear end and get rid of the monster box. How much volume do you think is back in that corner?

I didn't fill mine w/water yet to see, but there's at least a cube on each side... there's alot of flexability with that setup...

That's about all I am getting out of my box now to each sub... 1.3 I think... I'll have to take a trip down bring money and beer, what's your favorite beer?
