    Damn that A pillar is straight up sick . I would like to have this done to my truck but I don’t like the feeling of downing it. I also like that fiberglass ported sub that you did in that back cubby.

    So what about the sub? How much would you build and ship the box for?

    If you wanted the subwoofer and box it would be 375 plus shipping the sub is a house subwoofer built for my store it pounds hard as hell and it’s a crazy little monster subwoofer

    Is the sub and the cubby one piece? Or does the sub and box slide into place?

    With the box I built it actually does. It fit in the cubby but the customer didn’t want to fully remove it(aesthetic reasons) so I cut the cubby out and slid the box it

    @MannyTheAudioGuy i have no doubt that if you make a handful of those boxes with the sub in them and bundle them with an appropriate amp and wiring kit (possibly even pre-made t-harness with Female RCA or LOC), you could easily sell them on the marketplace.
    If there’s one thing @MESO taught us, it’s that people (myself included) will literally throw money at good custom products.
    And if there’s something I’ve learned myself, it’s that people are willing to support someone that actually knows what they’re doing and can aim them towards what they should buy.

    Great work, Manny! I just had a head unit installed about 2 weeks ago. Too bad that you’re not located in the East Bay. Napa is too far to travel for me.
