Cost me $200 for just the box..

Not to derail this thread but I'll let you be the judge...

Here is a pic of my enclosure that was custom-molded for my FRS at a local shop and it was $250. The amp is mounted under the carpet cut into the foam near the tire-iron.

I called them, they didn't want my money...

I live in Atlanta. Was going to have them ship it to me. The guy who does the credit card orders wasnt in and I left my info. Never got a call back. I might try to order one and just go pick it up. How does it sound? I seen where they mount the amp. It looks really professional! I want to do this to mine. BAD!

It sounds REALLY good. Honestly the FRS doesn't need more than an 8" since there isn't much volume in the car. Just adding the sub and amp completely changed the way the whole stereo sounds in the car. I love it.

If you like, I can swing by their shop and see if they may be interested in making another one.

Your enclosure could have been a cardboard box.

I told the guy I can do cash or credit. Its just a long drive out to have to drive back 3 weeks later after its made.
