Red face Custom fiberglass sub box (ported)

I'm just seeing if anyone would be interested in my sub box. It made almost 100% from fiberglass. The specs are from Alpine themselves (I know Mike Vu from Alpine... he and Steve Brown created the Alpine Mini Cooper) It can be repainted to match whatever your color needs are. I have it painted a dark silver to match the blue and silver theme of the car, but it can easily be repaint to match your theme better. I have never placed it on a scale but I would bet its roughly 35 Lbs. But I can weigh it if need be. I have it wired with 10gauge wire with quick disconnects in such a way that it can be removed quickly for those days at the track or for whatever reason.

My brother and I hand made this from scratch. Here are pictures from the build to show you the quality of work that went into this box.









This is the best pictures I have of it in the car because of the amps hanging over it:




I can fill in the cap holder if you don't need it for a little extra but I would rather sell it complete. I would like to get about $550 +shipping for it but I will entertain other offers.
I will consider trades or trades + cash (either way to you or me) for other parts.

If you have any questions feel free to PM me about it.

it sounds awesome - Most folks here (myself included) have their subs in the trunk

This one is truly a work of art as Darknight & his Bro are awesome at what they do...

I would rather not at this time but I may in the future. I have a list of people that would like me to build them a box... but I do it as more of a hobby right now. However as of late I have been giving the idea of opening up a shop a lot more thought, as people email me or message me here to build them something... so time will tell I am flattered however, so thank you!
