no reason you couldnt put it on the right as well. most probably go for the left as i did because the space is bigger becasue you dont have the fuel filler.
how muhc to make one well assuming stuff costs about the same in $$ as we get stuffed for in £ then about $50 should do. that actual box cost me nothing as i had all the stuff lef tover from prvious builds.
bascilly fine a supplier of fiberglass and resin (boat builders materials)
get a 5kg tin of polyester resin about $15
2-4 meters of chopped matting $3 a meter
sheet of MDF for the front $10
1meter covering $10
then all you need is a big ole box of cheapy resin brushes
if you get that lot youl be able to make at least 2 boxes if not more.

There is a larger cavity on the left than the right

you should give it a go next time you need an enclosure its not that hard the corner box on the Z is one of the easyest as you dont have to go vertical for much as there very little overhang to worry about .
if you orderd the stuff i posted from somewhere about $50 worth of fiberglass would give you at least 3 trys to geet it right , Fg is really cheap material. the reason boxes cost what they do is the time taken to make them heck like another $30 and you could use CF !

I had it made. Do what I did and take a picture of it to your local audio shop and say "build me this." I found a pic of a 10" corner enclosure on this forum and took it to the local autosound and security shop.

Wicked CAS

I had an understrut setup and wasn't happy with it. Then I bought the wicked CAS magic box as a replacement and love it. Worth every penny

looks good but $329 ! i know these things are low volume but ouch , glad i made mine . heck if i lived on your side of the pond id make you one !
seriously though guys have a go your selves its not hard and youl save some serious $$$ plus you can make it to your own specs as they look pretty small for a 10" sub.
mines about the same size and it barely holds the 8" .

why did you prefer this box over the under the strut bar box?

better sound? or space issue?

i current have 2 10"s with the under the strut box.

but i might have to get this box. looks better for some reason lol.

the understrut setup just took up too much room. It didn't really have a good way to mount it without getting invasive. The corner sub enclosure takes up almost no room, mounts very easily and sounds just as good as my bulky understrut setup did

while kind of pricey, from the pic of yours, mine looks CONSIDERABLY nicer. Yours doesn't look too bad, but it kind of sticks out. the wicked CAS magic box is very subtle and doesn't stand out. Looks very OEM

fair comment , these custom made boxes are never cheap as they are pretty much hand made low volume items.
i could have slanted and blended mine if i had wanted it that way though , but iwanteda flat side look to it.
my point simply that if you dont have r simply dont want to pay for it to be made you can do it yourself pretty easyily.
peronally i prefer to make my own as that one cost me $0 as i had the supllies left from previous builds also there arent any available in the UK !
