Yeah, you need a box specifically made for those subs, Those cheap boxes will make your system sound like crap.

You cant just throw any custom made box in your trunk, theres a couple of things that needs to be done.

Alot of mesuring is required, not just the fitment of the box but on certain subs you need a certain amount of air space or volume. The right amount of air space is needed for your subs to sound right.

For instance my friend baught a set of 10" JL Audio w7s and threw them in a already made box. I installed the same speakers and amp in a Merceeez with the right sized volume box. The sound is 10x better with the better box.

Unless your after a show type fiberglass setup I'd just make one yourself. Car audio shops generally charge way too much IMO. You definitely don't want to buy a generic one, a great sounding system is 25% equipment, 75% install. If you buy a sheet of 3/4" MDF frome home depot they will cut it for free, they just won't do angles, the holes, or small pieces. If you stick with a sealed rectangle all you have to do is measure, cut the holes for the subs, and put it together. Most subs come with plan sheets telling you the optimum volume for the sub, some even give you measurements for ported boxes. If you want post up what subs/amp you have, measurements of your trunk, and what you want from the system and I'll make you a plan to follow.
