The custom boxes are no more than $100. Hell if you lived near me, I'd sell mine for $40 to yah. Trust me, it's better to make the box fit rather than make the car fit...

i can make a box for free. i get marine grade plywood for free (dumpsters at construction sites), and i can make it in wood shop. i just hope my radio in the car has rca plugs, but i think im going to replace it anyway.

You still need to caulk it (however its spelled), and if you want to carpet it, that'll run a lil bit

I'd put them in. I don't think it's ricer in any way. If anything, it'd be the ghetto way to go. The afro Americans were the first ones to make subs in the car main stream... not azn. Nice little thump to go with the power! Muscle cars are about power, styling, and now handling. Why is everything always a "comporomise". I rather have things as the whole package.

Sound is definitly part of the Package.


As well as underglow, fiberglass everything, carbon fiber, glowing internals, racing stickers, glowy shift *****, skull pedals, huge body kits, wings that stand taller than 6' on the ground, mufflers bigger than a 30 year old man's head, colored tint, and but of course! The huge V-TECH sticker on your back windshield...[sm=icon_rofl.gif][sm=icon_rofl.gif][sm=icon_rofl.gif][sm=icon_rofl.gif]

So because I have a fiberglass hood for my 79 Camaro, does that make it a ricer? Because I have polk audio speakers in it along with a Panasonic head unit with a 3000 watt amp pushing 2 12" subs in a bandpass enclosure make it ricer? Because I have a carbon fiber composite switch plate make my Camaro a ricer? As far as the rest, I can't stand that **** lol.

Stickers make it go 10000000000000000000000000 MPH faster and drops 80 seconds off your 1/4 mile time...

The weight is true, I always go with a bunch of friends and we just move **** around. I have the extra weight cuz the motor can still rocket me down the track. It'll still rip the wheels lose so I figure, a little extra weight in the rear might be a little extra traction.
