make ur own. just glass off the rear corner of ur trunk. . . and put the seven there. . . possability are endless, but if you go custom.. ATTEMP IT URSELF FIRST.. . what do you have to lose. nothing. you will gain some knowledge about glass and if you fail .. . then goto a shop and have em do it. . . .
if you do it urself you wont spend more then 100$ to complete the whole thing. a shop is going to change ur a damn good pennie . .. . . .
Work like you really dont need the money Love like you have never been hurt before Dance like no one is watching.
also. mount it urself.. its a damn fun time to see how the spearker comes apart. . it mounts like no other sub. . . . . just attempt it urself first. . you have nothing to lose .

^^^ I see your point bro but I'd rather pay more and have it done properly, besides I don't have much time to do a trial and error fab myself being that I'm new at this... I'll just stick to my specialty and let the audio guys do theirs -

ya. . molding doesn't take that much time. its after you get the base mold. and get it wraped in cloth .. . its the sanding that is a bitch. . . but nothing is wrong with having an audio shop do it. .

if your already dropping down the cash for a w7 and jl amp why would you wanna go cheap with a self made box that may not sound as good as its full potential. If you have a good audio shop you know its going to be quality and sound as good as it can.
^^^ true - that was my first option but I thought that going with a JL enclosure, it would be spec and sound perfect - I'd just have to do a few minor things to seat it properly in the trunk...
i did it in the winter. . it took my quite awhile but it was my first attempt. . . . next time wont take as long, now that i know more about glass. Sanding is what takes so long. you neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed a power sander. .

id glass your own box... thats what i plan on doing after i finish up some Performance things. i think you get more respect when you say that YOU made it/installed it or whatever. rather than saying, 'oh i took it to joe blow down the road'.

respect is one thing - but quality is what I'm after...
I built mine, it sounds awesome, only because i took audio classes on learning how to make Fiberglass and wood enclosures. personally, I'd take it to a JL Specialized shop and have them make a pimp box for it. W7's are very sensitive and required a SEALED box, otherwise you can kiss your $300 sub goodbye.
The only reason I'd make my own box in your case is if I had low-end subs, which you don't, you have top-of-the-line W7's so I'd have an audio specialist make your box imo.
