Custom sub boxes for maximas ?

I was wondering if anyone knows where to get a custom sub box for our cars. I have a 4th gen and i tried to make a custom box myself. I don't like the way it turned out. So now i'm looking to buy something or have something made. Anyone know where i should be looking?

Give us some clue as to why you are unhappy with the box. The way it looks, sounds, etc. And what you expected to get out of it. And what is the price range you have in mind and maximum shipping charge as well as your location.

I'm pretty happy with the sound of my sub box, what i don't like is the fact that it took up majority of my trunk. I want something that hides my subs pretty well or puts them off to the sides (my two 12's) I want something that makes my trunk more useable but i don't wanna sacrifice much sound quality. I'm willing to spend less than 300 bucks and i'm in daytona beach fl. My subs are kenwoods and there being pushed by a 775 watt fosgate. But i'm thinking about buying one autobahn 15 (the one with the 270 oz magnet) and selling my 2 twelves then doing something custom with that 15, which way would i be better off?

Switching a single 15 for a pair of 12's may save you some space. But not all 15's are capable of keeping up with a pair of 12's. Other issue is impedance. The audiobahn is a dual voice coil, 4 ohm per coil. Unless your amp is stable at 2 ohms bridged you will lose significant power output. Something like the elemental 15 inch would work with that power and probably would be able to keep up with the pair of 12's you have now. Something like an Adire Brahma would also work but is more expensive and needs a slightly larger box.
