So I'm putting in the exact things as my friends mustang in this pic:
headunit: Pioneer P3300bt
speakers: Polk 6500 component for front and 650's for the back
speaker amp: kickeer ix500.4
sub: 12" kicker cvx
sub amp: kicker zx750.1

and I need suggestions as far as the enclosure goes. Should I get a custom made like the image below (note that the image below is still not done, they're putting a front face plate on it so all you can see is the sub plus the two amps, so just imagine that in your head :) )
or should I just get a good ole sealed box from Amazon? I'm getting a sealed box for sure, I prefer good music over loud bass
edit: I almost forgot to point out one important factory. the price difference of that custom box versus a premade box is 150 bucks. Do it or don't do it



I have till August 1st to decide (3-4 days)

Custom > all

Make sure you get it tuned to the subs spec too.

so I talked to the installers and we came to the conclusion that I should have them build me a box to the sub specs. And not a sub box built for the specs of the vehicle
what I wanna be able to do is if I get a new car I wanna take the box & sub out without a problem and put it in my new car.

so yeah, and it's like ~100 bucks cheaper so win-win situation for me ;)

Go back and tell them to build it not only to the vehicles specs, but the subs too...

Nonono, they are gonna build it to the specs of the sub
but I told them not to build it to the specs of the vehicle (meaning it's not gonna look like the picture on my first post)
instead it's gonna look like this:


I want to have the option of taking it out of my car easily and putting it in another car.

Lol this
sure they're gonna calculate the air space of my trunk (I think?) but I don't want the box to be built onto the car if that makes sense.
