Default Custom Sub Box from Ebay

Does anyone have these??? Looking for a good box for my 2 12" T1s since the one i have right now is way too big and looking to actually have trunk space. What do you guys think of the quality of this box?

I think he's talking about the one that sits in the back of the trunk, from seller customboxman (or something like that). I have one. It fits well, built quite sturdy. If you're looking for a cheap form-fitting box, it's a good choice.

How do you like it kum quat?
What is the cubic feet for air?
What kinda wood does the builder use?

What I like about this box is that it still allows room for golf clubs unlike the other boxes that were built for the 12w6 that sit on the side of the trunk.

*Edit*
reading owns me

CCJ22, I bought this enclosure specifically because I go golfing with my friends regularly (for the record, I'm TERRIBLE), and it's a necessity for me to fit clubs in my trunk for when I'm the driver. We've shoved 3 bags in the trunk with this enclosure, so it works perfectly.

They build it after you make the purchase, so if there's anything you need modified from the original (like make air space smaller), they can do that. I asked them to make the terminals on the back, as I was originally going to mount my amplifier on the back, and have it show through the ski pass, but I got lazy and mounted it on the top of the enclosure when I found out it fit perfectly. The amp I have is an Elemental Designs NiNe.1. It's 2.25" high, and it fits sitting on top of the enclosure. It's 3/4" MDF I believe.

I would recommend it over a prebuilt box. Fits great, and I don't miss the trunk space at all. It sits pretty far back in the trunk, so my trunk is still VERY usable.

How long have you had it?
Can you still access your floor of the trunk? As in if you had a flat tire. And needed to change to the spare in the trunk will the floor board still lift up so you can access your spare?

Thanks for the responses.

I put it in a few months ago, like early May I think. Don't think the spare is accessible, although I've never tried pulling it out. The floorboard lifts a bit, but I don't think its enough to get the spare out. I've gotten the jack out and the tool bag and stuff, but the spare is too big. It's not that hard to remove the enclosure anyways. It's just a little heavy with the subs in it.
