Custom Subwoofer Enclosures

by Steve
(US)

I would like to see a subwoofer raw box opinion. I was just browsing the site a week ago looking to see if you offered them. Yes I would have interest in a raw box. Priced somewhere around $50-75 per cubic foot with a minimum of say $100-125 for a 1 cubic foot box raw.

Adding paint or veneers would be great at a fair price but no way to know how much but not cheap probably and likely would put it out of reach for many. I am OK with using Acrytech on my boxes at not a lot of cost to me so the option is not that important to me.

The real value for me is a high quality box and most of what I would use would be 4 cubic foot+ size boxes. I can make a small one quite well and solid but larger is more challenging for solid so your techniques become very attractive when using high quality drivers to make it worth the expense.

I would pay $400 for a 4 cube box of the highest quality. Not being able to build a great box that large keeps me from even attempting the larger projects. The outer box built with braces included but not installed would be attractive also to save cost. Even a broken down CNC cut kit would work if that is what would be needed to keep costs reasonable.

I enjoy assembling so that would probably be my preference first if it was made available. That would also greatly reduce shipping costs so makes the most feasible option. Rounded corners would be a big positive as well. I assume with CNC abilities cutouts could be ordered but also having the ability to replace a baffle board to use different drivers is a plus. Unique shapes might be interesting but probably too costly for me. I would choose cost over fancy first unless costs were relatively close. With all that said if I could not get a custom size then I would not be all that interested as I would be limited on driver choices. Hope to see you offer something along this line and thanks for asking.

Customer Testimonials:

"Peter, I just wanted to drop you a quick note and say how impressed I am with these speakers. They are EXACTLY what I was looking for..very very small with big sound.

My wife loves them as well. They look great, and you hardly notice them at all sitting on the shelf. They integrate perfectly as surrounds. I have them crossed over at 150 as you recommended...simply fantastic. I only have about 15 hours on them so far, so I know they will only get better. You really have something here. Kelly ~ Montana USA

"I found these speakers by accident and after reading all the available info and after several emails back and forth with the company owner I decided I had nothing to lose, so I ordered a set of 5 mini cube speakers.

Peter was very helpful and patient and always responded to my emails within hours.

I have had the speakers set up for a couple of days and they sound great; they are everything described on the web site.

The sound from these small speakers truly is awesome.

I replaced a set of very high quality but also very large speakers and have not been disappointed... and the wife loves not having four large speakers in the living room.

The sound from these speakers really does fill the entire house, I was concerned about the small size of the speakers due to the fact I like to listen to music and movies at volumes most would consider loud.

These speakers are more than capable of playing at volume levels louder than I ever need while also maintaining very high quality sound. ~by; William (Corinth,TX)


"I ordered these speakers in the hope of bringing some life to my entertainment system... I didn’t think it would bring room filling sound to my entire house. These speakers not only fill my den with crystal clear sound, but radiate great sound throughout the house. Thanks for such a great product!" Celia ~Malasia IP#110.159.58.99


"these speakers breathed new life back into my music, I had no idea such small surround sound speakers could perform so well." John from US IP# 24.177.193.45


"how you got so much performance out of these speakers I have no idea -Great product!" Andrew from Denmark IP# 130.225.22.254


"nice speakers, nice finish, blended in with my room well and the wife is happy too. Great sound presentation! Now I just wish you guys made a subwoofer." Kyle from US IP# 98.233.53.244


"These surround sound speakers are amazing! After running them in for a couple days, I decided to play some tunes, and they never once sounded distorted or strained...

While I know they should be paired with a good sub-woofer bass system, I think they sound good enough that I can wait until I have the money to buy a really nice sub." Fred US IP#76.208.13.182


"Wow, what a great set of speakers. I really understand what you mean by a large sound-stage." Sandy from US IP# 137.100.121.30


"Recently I came to realize that my HDTV was better than my sound system... So, I decided to piece together a better sound system. Running across your site (and these speakers) was the best thing that has happened to my home theater.

My current system is; an older receiver, a home theater PC with a blue-ray player drive, and one pair of your Mini-Cubes. (for now; I plan to buy 3 more speakers soon)" Kevin US IP#98.179.199.26


"Purchasing a new set of surround sound speakers was a must for me. My old system looked awful and sounded even worse. The quality and look of your Mini-Cube speaker were a perfect fit.

Once I reviewed the ratings and tests I knew they would be perfect. I will be sure to look for more information and products from you. I can't believe the performance of these surround sound speakers for the modest price. I would recommend these speakers to anyone!" Mike US IP#172.16.2.142


"The overall quality and dynamic capacity of these speakers really took me by surprise. Their imaging is distinct, tonality is crystal clear, and oh yeah... they pump out some serious volume!

I feel like I have stolen speakers that I can't afford. People that spend more are Suckers!!" Micah US #Ohio
