Hi out there. New to the forum and I just bought my Cobalt 3 days ago. I just thought I would see if there are any other guys out there that do 12v stuff for a living? I've been into car audio for about 10 years and have done it professionaly for 4 years. Later.

 

what are your questions?

 

No questions, just seeing if there are any other professional car stereo guys out there.

 

i work at an independent shop, cssoccer works for BBY and i believe there's another one or 2 of us on here

 

Cool. I work for a small custom shop and I used to work for BBY back in the day.

 

where are you at in IL? im in STL and need a custom box made but the audio place around me wants 300 for a ported box.

 

thats cheap dude

 

Hello from IL. Where abouts you from? and where do you work.

 

are you crazy...300 dollars for is wayyy to much for a plain rectangle box for 1 12

 

well you said custom, and with my shop, custom means custom.

 

i used to work for curict city. i know they have a bad rep but the store i worked for had a pretty good crew of installers. we didn't do to much custom installs on customer cars , but i did do a lot to my car and some friends. i was more into the fabrication aspect of installing. my boss was electrical engineer.

its smothing id love to get back into , but it just didn't pay the bills and all the custom shops around here don't pay enough , and don't offer any benefits. and it really sucks becasue at the time i dont even have the money to do it as a hoby.

excusee the rice lol. i was going thrue a show car faze when i started the car.

LOL that reminds me of my friends.
friend: i want a custom ported box for 2 12s
me: ok ... $250 sound good?i'll even carpet it for ya.
friend: pish **** hat i can go the flea market and get a box for 50 bucks with plexi and neons.
me: <FACEPAML>

god forbied they ask me for glass work.

 

it is custom, it would be made for the sub...tuned and correct cubes for the sub

unless your talking about like a fiberglass box or somethingd

and emp your PM box is full but i got it yesturday, talk about a nice packaging job...it dosent even look like a refurb its basically perfect

 

... tuned box would be the correct term

 

I work at Stereo One in Carbondale IL. $250 -300$ is about the going rate for a custom enclosure. Unless you want something intricate, I would just buy a pre-fab. But hell, bring your car down and I'll build you something cool

 

100 bux ill wrap it and led it... lmao made mine for ~$40

 

I used to work for Visions, awhile back..
now I just work on friends cars when needed!

 

lol thats what i do. i aim to please. ya my pm box has been full more and more often lately. too many pms not enough time
