It's all good. I'm not looking to take any orders right now, maybe at some point when summer rolls around I'll build another batch of them. I fully encourage people to come up with own design. It's certainly not an afternoon build, the first set took days, I got a little better and more efficient after that. Audio just happens to be an interest of mine both home and auto. I can certainly afford to pay a stereo shop to do the same work, but I think I can do it better and I enjoy the process.

Default mass production

is there any way you can make a mold or duplicate from one you make vs. making them from your personal jeep each time?

Once you have the first box, can you take it to a sub shop and say, "make me 20 of these"?

What years does your box fit? My 2012 for example ?

This is cool to know you're considering producing some of these. I'm currently going with a single 10" sub in a standard box in the back.

This might be a long term option, though. It would be nice to use space that otherwise has no value for cargo storage.

$300 isn't bad for a fully custom box when you consider the cost of manufactured custom-fit solutions.

. That's my plan. I have a blank pair in my garage that I am going to use to mold with gelcoat. The boxes will fit 20007-2014 JK and JKUs.

Default well

well, had I known about them, I'd not have spent so much time setting up my 8" RF in the OEM subbox in the back.

a 10 under the seat would hit better top up or off!
