Just phenomenal. Once the enclosure is carpeted, it blends in perfectly! Love the speaker adapters as well. Excellent craftsmanship all the way around.

Great craftsmanship .. you should sell these boxes .. i got my box from supercrew sound and ended up having to add screws and nails to it to keep it together .. if its worth your time you could make these for $300-$500

Thank you for the kind words! It sounds amazing, and I still need to get everything dialed in. I wanted a utilitarian build. I use the backseat as a cargo area often. I cram a backback between the enclosure and the front seat backrest, etc. So, no hard wrapped vinyl that will get scarred easily on this one.

Thank you! I'm willing to make enclosures for guys. These things are not cheap though. There's a lot of time and material in this enclosure. I'm not sure people really want to pay what good work costs..?

here are examples of what prices people will pay

your work looks more like the mti product .. but since they are established your pricing would probably fall above supercrew but below mti .. then there is the cost of being a vendor.. i'm not update on vendor packages so i can't tell you how much that would cost if you were to advertise outside of this thread.. i'm assuming if ppl pm you from this thread you would not need to be a vendor .. of if you put your current box up for sale in the classifieds here or diymobileaudio then build yourself another box.. then repeat

but it really comes down to if its worth your time and effort

I have no idea how Chris (MTI) can produce the enclosures he does for the low price he charges. They are fantastic at an even better price. I'm not interested in competing with him for price. I do custom work in my shop.

It's an awesome router. I changed out the controls from Mach3 to Centroid and it has been rock solid since! I also have a 36 x 55" 150watt CO2 laser. Makes this sort of work a lot faster and adds a huge step increase in quality!

Wish I had to sleep in the concrete world.... Do you run your router 9-5?

I could try to scribe, plunge route something but it wouldn't be clean and beveled like yours T&B.

Nice work boss!
