Good Custom Sub Box?

Generally speaking, most 12" subs recommend a sealed enclosure of 1 cu ft. So for simplicity sake, I would just buy a prefabbed box similar in size. Go to ebay and search for a seller by the name of "doremifrog". Great prefabbed enclosures.
I appreciate the info guys, yeah I have been thinking to just build it myself, I just wanted to see what was already out there, that way I may have just decided to go with them (granted its not hard, but the supply expense is about half of buying one premade, if the quality is good it might be worth it).
I am going to dynamat the whole car in the next month or so, so it may get me in the "project" mode I am in every now and then.

I just would rather not spend another night, being 6'2" and all, crawling around in the trunk of a civic. I put it in when I had the civic and it took some gymnastics to get all 200 sq feet in that trunk and do it easily(3 layers). Yes, I used a heat gun, roller, etc. I'd still rather not do it again. Every inch was covered too. And I foamed the big gaps.
As for alternatives, I'm partial to fatmat (www fatmat.com) as it's probably the cheapest and effective out there. Sure, the sound deadener showdown had it ranked low, but I had great results with it. I did all the prep work to a tee, dried with a heat gun, and put a blower heater on the trunk to warm it (installed it in 32 degree weather in the garage).

Rep Power: 0 Coupla points on sound deadener. Dynamat Xtreme is good stuff. If you have a hookup to get it at a good price, it is a good choice. Second Skin and Cascade are better quality, but all are good enough that unless you have extreme requirements any of them will do you well.
I don't want to get into another argument about asphalt versus butyl mats so I'll just urge caution. Any sound Deadener makes a huge difference. In our cars, it is the best upgrade you can possibly make for sound quality and comfort. IMO any audio upgrades are pointless unless you do this first.
Butyl mats will be easier to install, more effective and more reliable over time. I'd be especially careful with FatMat. First of all, it is just repackaged MFM Peel & Seal, so as cheap as it is, you can get the exact same thing for less at Home Depot. Second, they have some poor *** customer service. They just opened a new eBay seller's account because of all the negative feedback they had earned: fatmat-sound-killer
The point is, it is hard work, but extremely worthwhile. It is the kind of project you don't want to do more than once. It will increase the value of your car and make it much more pleasant to own. Making a quality choice will guarantee a do it and forget it outcome.
