Just from reading the second ebay auction, it's built and tuned for that subwoofers specifications.

Yeah I looked at that. But how much diff does it really make? Because the zenclosure guy has kind of one size fits all and he seems to have a lot of happy custs.

a. Determine which subs you want to run, how many, and the type of enclosure you want to use(sealed, ported, bandpass etc.), then build a box to those specifications
b. Determine how much space you have to work with and then choose a sub that meets those general space requirements, then build the box the specs of the sub. Its better to go bigger than smaller, as you can always add dead volume or bracing the the inside of the box, but you can't add volume later

Well I have to go with A. I bought some headrest monitors that were crap but because its online store I could only get credit. The Alpine 12" type R should be on its way to me. Sos I have to find a box for it. I kind of like the 4080 boxes, but that seems pretty steep for a box.

I would highly recommend going with the 4080 enclosure. Even though they are more expensive than most boxes, you can't beat the factory look, ease of installation, and overall performance you get from these boxes. I've seen the actual process by which the 4080's are made and I must say that you are getting a really good deal for what you're getting! Just my 2 cents
