Well, it doesn't say the thickness of the MDF. It basically stated something that could translate to this: "my house is made of wood". Thats nice. And what sub are you going to use/already have? Does the air space matchup? Does/will the sub require or prefer a sealed box?

A guy brought one of those same exact boxes into the shop a few weeks ago. It moved around a little under the seat, and we sealed it up a little better just to be safe, but overall, it was built fine. It was 1/2" MDF, but hey that's fine for a small to moderate setup. It sounded good when we were all done. Definately a fair deal.

Your subs better match to the ported box, or it will sound like garbage.

You're comparing a sealed box to a vented box. Of course it's gonna be louder. Doesn'tmean the other box is junk. I do agree that there are scary things on ebay, but that box it built just fine,a nd for $60 you can't beat it.

I never said anything about being louder. It is louder however but it also sounds 100 times better! I never said theMDF box was junk.I have had the MDF ebay box and in my experience it was a waste of money. So that being said, I was just trying to help him not make the purchase that I regretted. Im not trying to be a jerk but I know first hand. That is what these forums are all about, helping each other out. I say these boxes arechessey because they advertised the MDF box I bought to be 2cu. ft. and there was no way this box had that amount of space, maybe the outside dimensions were 2cu.ft. So I am still a little p/o'ed because of the false advertisement. I am in no way affiliated with Fox acoustics just a loyal customer. Now,get on Dodge talk .com and search fox box and you WILL NOT find a complaint. Therefore that makes it in my opinion the best box for our trucks. I know 60$ sounds like a good deal but if it doesnt sound good your throwing your money away. Sorry if I upset anybody, I just dont appreciate somebody misreading my post and giving trouble for it! Again, I apologize.
