Selling Custom FRS / BRZ sub enclosure
 
4 Attachment(s)
Selling a custom fabricated subwoofer box for a Scion FRS or Subaru BRZ. The box was made by Handcrafted Car Audio, an award winning shop and is build to last .The front of the box blocks in the back of the trunk with a Toyota 86 / Boxer logo with two pistons coming off to the sides and their pins being the ports. The logo is blown up to scale with the exception of the port diameters. Ports are tuned to 32 Hz. Comes in four pieces and is easy to install I can even do it for you. One trim piece for each side, the piston logo and box.

Asking for 500 OBO , paid well over that to get the thing made. Willing to ship at your expense, if you are from AZ PM me and I will give you my number to set up a meeting.

I believe this is in the wrong place..

Also $500 for a wooden box.. Man $500 for A BOX made out of WOOD

When you can buy running and driving cars for $500 it makes my brain hurt to contemplate spending $500+ on a wooden box for a speaker to sit in. Not to mention it makes the whole concept of being able to haul anything in this car null and void.. I am just going to end it. I cant handle this! :suicide:

GLWS :rolleyes:

Forum policy states no flaming in classified ads. Whether you agree with it or not has little to do with the sale. Find another thread if you just want to complain about something.

FYI, custom enclosures are not cheap. This is the first once I've seen incorporating the 86 piston logo, that's a nice touch.

I am pretty sure this is in the general section and not under classifieds. I do not go over there looking to start crap. I was just merely replying to a post in the general section with my opinion. Sorry if that bothers you. Yes I know people get ripped off with custom boxes all the time but it doesnt make it right. No matter how many "nice touches" they have. If you are so worried about the rules then why isnt this thread moved to classifieds by now? sheesh

Doh! It is indeed in the wrong section. I'm not trying to be a rule nazi, but the instant negativity got me a little riled.

Knowing that people get ripped off is one thing, but to fire off as the first response saying it's a POS seemed unreasonably harsh. Asking for more info or detail regarding why he's asking $500 would have been more civilized.

I personally love the set up, I'm not skilled enough to build that on my own as much for some might be a simple task,
So not having the skill to make one as nice as that or access to woodworking tools and it would cost me a lot more than that to have one custom built I would purchase that in a second. But I'm guessing shipping it to Guelph ont might get a little pricey

The money you pay when someone builds you a custom enclosure does not just pay for the $75 in MDF, carpet and vinyl. It pays for the experience and the quality that comes with that experience. When it comes to shop hours and what's billable. Time is worth money. Even a cheap shop at $85 an hour to design build and carpet this box plus materials. Theres at least 8 hours worth of work there. When you think about the time put into the beauty panel.

Could you build it yourself? Sure. Even when you do that your time is worth money even if it doesn't cost you fiscally. Its still time out of your life spent.

My shop is $138.50/Hr and Im not even kidding when I say we book weeks in advance and that doesn't even mean you get in that day. You get to drop it off and park it out in the lot and maybe we get to it in a few days.

OP nice box and GLWS.

Hey sorry its in the wrong section, how do i go about moving it?

And yes you get what you pay for, the shop that made it is top notch and it was built to the exact specs for my sub that was in there. If you are like me, and I assume most people here you didn't buy this car for the trunk space you bought it to enjoy the drive, and too me the added bass lets me enjoy it more.

500 is just to feel out the market, no person with good business sense puts up what they want to sell at bottom dollar right of the jump. Just saying.
