Good choice

I ordered 2 of the boxes shown. They came 2 days after the order with no shipping damages. I'm mostly satisfied with the product and it is MOSTLY SEALED. There were a bunch of gaps and missed spots that should definitely not be there, but its not hard to put some neutral cure silicone into it. Other than that it has great construction and looks like it will hold together.

SOLID

Purchased this box to hold a kicker comp 12" sub. Don't let the price fool you, this thing is sturdy. Simple installation of speaker port, and it was ready to go. Recommended.

Quality for a bargain

I would highly recommend this box to anyone who is looking for a good quality sealed sub woofer enclosure. It is built with high quality materials and has not cracked or chipped over the 6 months i have had it so far. The sound quality is great and it has no leaks or rattles. The materials alone that are needed to make this box yourself cost twice as much as this complete ready to go box does.

My sub box review

I don't need to say anything about this product, except one thing.. I ripped this company off! The money I paid was way way way less than what I should have paid for the quality of product I received! I recommend this and if the rest of their products are anywhere near as good as that box, then you're in for a treat!

Can't Complain

This box is as simple as it gets. And the gray looks awesome with a nice black sub. Terminals were kinda loose, but thats nothing a socket cant fix. The only thing is if your looking for a completely air tight seal, i recommend sealing the terminal with some good silicone, as well as the main hole, you wont regret it. For the price, I'll never sway from this box.

Seems fine, great deal!

Bought it last week. Terminal cup was not sealed hardly at all, and one of the posts were loose, but to have a properly sealed enclosure you have to seal the terminal yourself anyways. So after tightening the post, which was a breeze, and sealing the terminal cuwtt35824 and mounting surface for the sub all with multipurpose caulk and letting it sit for a day or so, its completely air tight. Seems fine, havent hooked it up yet but there shouldnt be an issue. Worth the price for sure, and very sexy with a nice black sub too!

Nice value but weak terminals

I got this box because it was cheap. It was sturdy and well made. Carpet was well done. I would've preferred a bit more caulking around the edges, but it was still sealed. Well worth the price.

Only problem: terminals are weak. The box moved around a bit and then the terminals BROKE when I used banana plugs. Yes... and so the only way is that I have to rely on the screws to pin the wires in place. It barely holds, but I was REALLY disappointed.

Good value. Just dont use the banana plugs unless your sub NEVER moves around.

Awesome sealed Sub Box

I bought this sealed 12" sub box 6 months ago. I have been pounding it and it has held up perfect. I have absolutely no complaints. It was a great value and has stood the test of time. highly recommended. A+++

Thanks alot!

No complaints so far

Great box, very rigid. No construction problems but joints could be a bit better sealed.

Quality Box...

This is a finely constructed sealed single sub-box!.I was actually surprised by the quality for this amazing price. Every piece is quality from the carpet on the box to the gold-plated connections. I believe that Sonic competes with any on-line retailer out there. I will be using Sonic Electronix for all of my audio and video needs... Two thumbs up!

Gets the job done.

My major complaint is that the hole was cut out a little too big - some of the screws were barely holding in. Definitely not 'precision cut' as I'd hoped.

Ah well, it works and that's what counts :)

good box, good value.

Met my needs perfect. Have had no issues except had to re-tighten one of the connections on the box.

Great Box!

Ordered this box from Sonic along with a Boston G5 12". This box is very sturdy and the carpet was excellent. The terminals are great as well. I didn't use any polyfill and it sounded pretty good. This box overall was excellent and I have nothing bad to say about it. I even spun around once and the box went flying across my trunk and no damage was done.

Great box, great price!

Perfect box for my application

WOW this box fits perfect in my 2003 F-150 in the back seat between both front seats. I just installed this box with a Kicker CVR124 and it its hard. awesome construction, very well made and the best part was the price.

The Average Joe... or box in this case.

I wasn't expecting much from this box after I ordered it this summer. I wanted to experiment with this box to see how well it performs for how cheap it is. Once I received it and started inspecting, I noticed it's not true to size. You WILL have to shave the diameter of the slot so your subwoofer could fit in perfectly. It runs a little smaller than most 1.0 cu. in. boxes. So after my modifications with an electric saw/sander the subwoofer was finally ready to fit in. I played my favorite songs and the bass is accurate and very tight. A little too tight for my liking. I've had it for half a year already and so far there are no other problems with it. This is a temporary enclosure as I look for a higher quality & bigger cu. in. box to permanently replace it. All in all the box is average and it does it's job. So the saying "You get what you pay for" actually applies to this.

Pros:
Does it's job
Very tight bass
Carpet lining matches most OEM grey carpet
Lightweight

Cons:
Small cutout hole
Requires slight modifications
Low caulking sealant
No free shipping

Tips:
Use an electric saw and sander to modify the diameter.
Tighten the terminal cup and gold posts.

Great Product!

This box is exactly what I was looking for. I had to modify the terminals a bit because I have a dual 4 ohm voice coil Kicker CVR and I wanted to hook up each voice coil to a separate channel. But overall, a very well made product! For the price, you can't beat it!

.

well... its a box. It does everything it is supposed to, and it was well made. if you are looking for a box, this is really all you need, unless you plan on buying a ported or bandpass enclosure.
