I am in the middle of making a custom enclosure, but I see all these sweet pics of fiberglass sub boxes. I figure that If im gonna do this I better do it right. How much do you all think it would be to get a fiberglass box done professionally? I have no fiberglass experience, would it be hard to make something like this myself? Where could I get matierals, instructions? or would it be better to do professionally? Id like something like this minus the TV, but if it would cost alot to do this then id get something simple.

 

something like this at a shop cost about 1000.00. If i were you i would try something small first like the front of your subbox and you will gain the confidence to do something like this

 

A reg fiberglass box( using the tire well ) will run you about a day in labor so times that by the labor rate of the shop...That type of install in your pic will run you for the trunk between 5,000-10,000.

 

It depends on the shops labor rates, material costs, and experience. Experience is a plus because it could reduce labor by more than half, even if the hourly rate is higher.

The first two on that list should have some technical / instructional material. I have purchased from the first three, and been happy with the service. The last two I have found in the past 6 months or less.
