4080 boxes

alright i just got my 8 yesterday and its more than i could imagine. i have a new respect for everyone thats a member seeing as i was a member two weeks before i even got my 8. anyways i was surprised with how small the trunk was even though i had heard people talk about it, but i did search the site and find the 4080 boxes. i have looked and looked and can't find who could make them, although i did find instructions, but i don't really wanna make them ha. so if someone could tell me where or who i could buy a pair of 4080 boxes from thatd be great. as well as if the 4080's have enough depth to set in type r's

How do you get speaker wire into the boxes? Do they have terminal cups on them? Or does it come with some speaker wire already glassed into place? Or what?

The white speaker wire is what comes with the boxes. I swapped out to something a little more to my liking.









You can't see it in the picture but the connections are right on the outside of the box.

not everyone knows people who can do that type of work. For those who don't know people, $300 is a steal.

To be honest I do this stuff for a living for awhile. $300 is just a little steep. I would say about $250 each would be about right and probably $400-$450 or so for a pair is good. Once you have a mold made thoug and can mass produce them the price should go down. The big thing is you arnt gonna make one of these in 2-3 hours like you can just a simple wood box. It is the labor that goes into a fiberglass enclosure and in the end if build correctly is 100 times better than a simple wood box.

There is no way in hell this box can be done for 50 bucks. I dont care how aggressive the statement is. LoL

In the end it boils down to ability and desire. It looks like a part of the car and just blends in almost perfectly and that is what alot of people want.

I know how to do this work and would give around $450 for it to be built for me. $600 I wouldnt spend. So like I said it boils down to what you want and what you are willing to put into it.

To be honest, these are the best fitting boxes I have ever used in a car. I would rather spend the $300 on a quality box, then the crappy alternatives.
