Are you following me?
Errr nope....
just been reading about the other guy doing a leon install.
and this guy as he's doing what I'm about to attempt.......
what ICEcavern said there is very true. AutoAcoustics are not overpriced @ £190 for a sub box. I had mine custom made by some mates for £180 (incl. all wiring).
Don't forget AutoAcoustics have spent plenty of time calculating the best possible design keeping in mind what most subs need to work at a good level. I actually called up AutoAcoustics about making a one-off and for that they charge £1400! now that's overpriced.
If you want a box made specifically to your sub (which is what i'd recommend) then you're better off getting a custom one, ported/sealed...all depends on what you're looking for.
P.S you don't need an AmpBoxz as most people screw the amp onto the rear of the back seats

Like Nickyjam said I just paid £140 for my custom ported box as seen here...

Obviously you pays for what you want.
Mine is custom built to the exact specs for my sub Digital Designs 2512 12"
I was happy to pay the £140 for mine simply because I wanted it to make the most of my sub & off the shelf boxes just arent that good becuase what suits one sub doesnt suit another.
Get the best you can afford but dont scrimp on it because that bit extra to get one built to spec is well well worth it

Just because most people do it doesn't make it right
The amp box is a great idea, it's a very tidy way to mount your amp. Screwing an amp to the back of the seats never looks tidy.
Pete
didn't say mounting the amp on the back of the seat is right Pete. They were summing up the cost of both a StealthBox & AmpBox and simply said that this is the easier and cheaper option
Soundwave: have you installed the sub yet? i would like to see what it'll play down to and whether it'll ever use the full potential of that port

Not yet.
I'm collecting it tomorrow & should have it in by the end of the weekend.
Apparantly it's tuned down to 36Hz which is the recommended tuning for my sub
All things being well I'll be at the AMD Essex Cup next Sunday (13th) if you'r there your more than welcome to a listen

Well if you cant & your ever around the area drop me a message & you'll be welcome to a listen
