E-Bay sub box quality

I found this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=50568
sub box on ebay. Do you think it's any good? I've got a Kenwood 12" 700 watt sub I'm gonna put in it and I don't want the box to rip apart or anything.

That box looks sturdy to me. 3/4" MDF is good material. Keep in mind, that with a bandpass box, it's harder to hear distortion.

My buddy got a box almost exactly like it from Best Buy and his beats out. Other than the box we'd have the same equipment. Best buy's box is 90 bucks. What do you guys think? Best Buy ($90) or E-Bay ($50)

i highly recommend this box for a prefab. i have a dual 10" sealed box from them i got about a month ago and it is very sturdy. it is sealed excellently and is def. 3/4 mdf. its a quality box for whats its worth and its cheap. they also have vented boxes if you want. i do not recommend a bandpass box at all.

you will get a much better sound with a sealed box.

I bought this exact box for my 12" EDesigns sub.
Sturdy 3/4 and it's exactly the right size (1.5)
Depending on what space your sub needs i would recommend this!

Yeah, I got my sub box from a guy on ebay with a site called SubsDotKom. His Boxes are BEUTIFUL QUALITY! and The PRice is Off the hook. Do a Search for Sub boxes, and you will see his products.

the bandbpass will make the kenwood sound like utter crap.


if you use a bandpass it has to be very well designed for the SPECIFIC sub


its probably well built though
