ive been in the car audio business for over 5 years and if you came to me for a sub box in a 350z, i would build you the best box i can. but im sorry to say the hours that building involves will reach far more than 100 bucks. yoru looking at the 300-500 range depending on finish.

PS: 16PSI, how much you charge me for a 10" mdf ring./ one that has a thinner piece on top so the sub sets in the ring and is flush with the ring that lays on top. Thanx

i dont really know, thait kind of thing probably be better to have a local shop cut you 
people always place way more emphasis on fiberglass...
a well built MDF enclsoure that fills an area nicely, with trim etc, is every bit as time consuming as a fiberglass mold etc...if not more...
the only time fiberglass costs more for sure is when you are doing painted glass work.

You can certainly make your own box for under $100... Not counting your time you put into it... Good luck and I hope it comes out nice.

i understand yall are running a business and im def not tryint to step on toes here. ill post pics i guess of whatever comes out, if it comes out halfway decent. the first box i built turned out pretty good. but the second one was way shi*ty. i rushed it and didnt take my time making cuts and it shows. so we'll see how the third one works out.
