Hello everyone, this will be a build thread of sorts. I just wanted to share my experience and hope that it helps someone. Like many of you I decided that DIY provided the best bang for the buck and allowed for greater flexibility than you could find from buying a manufactured sub. Maybe some of you out there are like me that did not have the proper tools/work area to produce a good DIY sub. The expense for proper tools to do the job was really high and so I looked for alternatives. I came upon this site http://www.freewebs.com/uber-stealth/diyhomeaudio.htm which is ran by Nik. I contacted him and he was more than willing to work with me on my build and at a very reasonable price as well.
So for anyone out there that wants to be able to pick your own driver, amp, enclosure etc... and doesn't want to invest in tools (like me) then contact Nik and he'll set you up. Some pics of what arrived safe and sound today.
Dont pay much attention to the sloppy silicone job...that was my doing lol. He did a very nice job on it. This is just for 2 channel listening so I wasn't looking for gobs of output. I had him build this around the Shiva-X sub and O-audio 500 watt amp. Im painting it right now and hopefully some time tomorrow I'll have a finished product. But, just based on dry fitting everything....he nailed it! Looks much better in person, cant give Nik enough credit! Craftsmanship is top notch! If there are any questions, just ask.
