Five stars because the box itself is extremely well built and the customer service was excellent. I also didn’t notice any weird smell. Unfortunately, my 12” shallow-mount subs did not fit the openings, which was pretty frustrating after spending this much and being ready to install everything.
I called Fox Acoustics and the lady who helped me was absolutely great. She took the time to explain the issue and even sent me photos showing what the speaker needs to look like in order to fit properly. I actually think those photos should be included on the product page because it would make it much easier for customers to know whether their specific 12” subs will fit before ordering.
At this point I have to take the box somewhere to have the openings fitted for my speakers, so unfortunately I still haven’t been able to install it. I understand Fox can’t possibly accommodate every 12” subwoofer on the market, but it would be great if they offered an option specifically designed for larger shallow-mount 12” subs.
Overall, the quality of the box is right on the money and the customer service was outstanding. I just wish the fitment issue was clearer before purchasing because now I have additional work and have to wait longer before I can actually enjoy it.
