Default Anyone have a KLA sub box for sale?

I figure its a long shot, as most people probably want to keep theirs, but if anyone has one of the KLA sub boxes for one of the rear cubbies and you'd like to get rid of it, let me know.

I have one that I built myself. I wasn't planning on selling it, but if the offer is right I may. Holds a Polk Momo 8 inch subwoofer right now.

Disclaimer: This is not a direct copy of KLA unit, it just fits in the same place with the same function. There are no plans in existence to share.

Does anyone have a pic of the entire KLA box? I'm kind of curuious how they construct them.

The KLA box is built of MDF wood, all complex angles.

Hmm, sounds easy enough if there's no fiberglass... Depending on the angles and the skill it might take, you could make one for 30 or 40 bucks on your own if you had the tools. Of course if your not the time-rich entreprenurial hobbyist, just paying the 100 or so bucks for it would work too.

I know the box could probably be made fairly easily, but I simply don't have the time to do it myself. The boxes from KLA are not really overpriced for a specialty sub box so I might buy it from them, I just figured if I could save the time (of them constructing it) and a few bucks I might as well see if someone has one that they might sell.

kwdrus, sent you a pm

and patrat, also sending you a pm

for those wishing to embark on this task, it took 40 hours to get all the angles right for a drop in, removable box.

Mine came today sans driver, which i had purchased elsewhere. it took me about 15 minutes to mount my Fosgate Punch 2. Can't wait to get it in the cubby. Anyone know the best way to run the wires back for the sub and the amp?

I'd probably run the power wires through the back of the glove box and under the carpet right near the passenger door and up beside the rear seat (maybe even remove seat and put them under it), and then run the signal wire from the back of the head unit and through the bottom of the center console to the back of the car; what ever you do, don't run the power and signal wires right beside each other

Before you do the wiring ditch that pile of crap sub and pick up something else.

Please tell me how you really feel about it! Don't hold back. KLA puts a previous version of the current Fosgate Punch 1 in their loaded version. I'm not an expert on subs so I'm all ears.

I like my alpine type-r's, but if I was rich Id get type-x's

I agree with Matt H, if you went to the lengths of getting this sub box, get a decent sub (no offense)

JL has competition subs that are fantastic. Even their inexpensive subs are much better than the Fosgates. When my car was broken into my Fosgate was stolen...I told the cop I looked at it as a blessing It was in the car when I bought it and I hadnt had the time to remove it.

The JL W7 is incredible. I have used the W0 in numerous applications that required small subs.
