Tool Well Sub enclosure
I am looking for the best enclosure that I can purchase without building myself or getting a custom built one for a 12" Alpine type R subwoofer. I have found a link for darksidesubs and there trunkwell enclosure. Are they still around? if so any pics of the box outside of the vehicle? On ebay I found PD fabrications sells one that I am unsure if the design is any good. Elemental Designs also makes one but I have not seen any pics of it. Are there any recommendations and pics? Or any good shops in the SF bay area (east bay) to get one made fairly quickly and for a good price?

ZEnclosures has some listed on Ebay as well.
Carpet doesn't seem to match too well, and the sub is also a little high up for my preferences as I still couldn't put my golf bag on it without a seriously solid speaker grill.

The Z enclosures box looks like it sits on top of the tools in the tool well. I am looking for one with more airspace. thanks for the input though, I wish they had more pics of theirs like the PD fab did.

i have the Z enclosure box and liked it for its cost and purpose, sturdy and never had problems with it. I never had my tools in the tool well so I don't remember if it sat on the tools or not but I had nothing there although I don't think it would of fit , could be wrong though

ZEnclosure says there is enough room underneath for your tools and a jack, but not in the foam tray. Just take them out, wrap em in a towel with a strap and place em underneath. I want something more recessed that I can put a solid lid over. Looks like that'll be the ones made by WLaurent

I just had one made, it was the prototype for Concept Enclosures. it is AWESOME, he is selling them now on ebay. mine covers the entire floor of the trunk since I will probably mount my amp and crossovers on it also. And it is deep enough for the type R, as that is what I am getting also. Check out the link, and pictures of mine, it fits so perfectly I couldn't believe it. E-bay link
