You mean like these?. I've seen them there (of course) and on ebay. Not cheap though. Also, I believe you're stuck with 10" subs because of the dimensions of that area.

 

4080 enclosures FTW. Perfect fitment, perfect color match, Rock solid construction.

 

does anyone know where you can get them for less then $325???

 

Once upon a time, there was a competitor mocking up a similar version of the 4080 boxes for slightly cheaper. In the end, nobody bought his stuff and we haven't seen him since.

The build quality of the 4080 boxes is unmatched by far. I wouldn't dare chance the quality I have to save 50 bucks. I've been in car electronics for awhile and was seriously impressed with the 5-star construction of these. Without even knowing the quality of the, now vanished, other guy.... I know I made the right decision by going with the 4080's.

 

They weren't any cheaper. In fact, at first they were 100 bucks more then the 4080's. He eventually matched prices, but it was too late at that point, and nobody had seen his build quality.

 

The boxes had these little "wings" on the ends that I wasn't real crazy about. Looked a little weird.



The 4080's also come with a sweet flush-mounted sub grill. Add in the fact nobody was sure of his build quality.... and I spent the extra money for the 4080's. I think I made the right decision. The fitment of the 4080 boxes is disgustingly good. The speaker connection terminals have got to be glassed into place, they're so solid. The carpet color match it spot on. (As you can see in the pics I posted, the other box's carpet was not) The small bracket that tucks under the weather stripping to hold it into place is plenty secure. (versus the more cumbersome nut/bolt method of the above mentioned box) 50 mph skids will not un-budge these puppies. And the flush mounted grill looks perfect and wedges into place so tight I've never once questioned it. (The other box does not include a grill at all) I could not improve on the design if I tried.

 

unless someone else is going to sell theirs to you, probably your only option is to make your own or purchase the 4080 box. Great quality built box, looks nice too.
