Chameleon subwoofer enclosure

Has anybody seen one of these firsthand?
Seriously expensive piece, considering that it does not include a driver.
The material looks like plastic but is a proprietary blend that has most of the qualities of mdf that make it desirable for audio with the advantage of being moldable.

Never heard of those guys but I got mine here: http://customsubenclosures.com/produ...fer-enclosure/

Very happy with the service and quality. Below is a pic of how it looks in my car.

Does it have to be held in with a bungie cord? Kinda kills the clean factor for me

There could be many ways to do it but the fact that the front of the enclosure is elevated (not resting on mat) makes it a bit harder to position firmly. I'm going to try large velcros in the back to stick to the liner but this is my temporary setup and has been working surprisingly well. On another thread, another manufacturer of custom enclosures came to the conclusion that the optimal setup (because of shape, weight distribution, etc) is to drill through the enclosure and bolt it to the body of the car. Not an option for me.
