- What are the subwoofer enclosures made of?
All DSE products are constructed from chopped mat fiberglass or carbon fiber. We utilize only the highest grade gel coats and resins from makers such as Duratec®. Our materials are definetly more expensive but ensure a quality product built to last. Select products may include a 3/4 inch Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) base to eliminate resonance and ensure a stable mounting surface. All subwoofer holes are internally "sandwiched" with a 1in thick MDF ring and fiberglass to include select amplifer mounting surfaces. Please see product features for more information.

- What is the difference between a Good Quality DSE Enclosure VS. the Bad Quality Competitor Enclosure?
At our manufacturing facility in Arizona, expert craftsmen laminate, grind, join and finish DSE enclosures by hand. Proprietary techniques and materials developed by Dynamic Subwoofer Enclosures LLC and Arizona Prototype Inc. through years of fiberglass manufacturing experience ensure consistent quality and unsurpassed performance. We do not utilize a chopper gun method to lay up our parts, our subwoofer enclosures are all handmade. Each piece of fiberglass is cut, placed and laminated by hand. We don't use cheaper chopper gun construction, which can result in a lower-quality, heavier enclosure. Chopper guns are used for two reasons; the first is cheaper labor/application costs and the second is filler. The chopper gun method can cause air bubbles, weak spots and uneven thickness. We hand lay and roll all of our fiberglass to each contour with specific amounts of fiberglass to ensure consistant strength throughout the enclosure. In addition, all wood parts are "sandwiched" between layers of fiberglass to ensure maximum adhesion and an air tight seal. This question presents a classic case of "You get what you pay for". You may have seen enclosures costing approximately $250 with free shipping and wonder why we sell our enclosures for slightly more. The only way to sell fiberglass subwoofer enclosures at that price is because they are made utilizing cost effecitve industrial operations, very poor craftsmanship and materials. This type of enclosure will not last long and may also not fit properly which can incurr additonal expenses in the bodyshop to repair, which has historically proven to be a timely headache. Before you spend your hard earned money, consider the fact of "Why am I paying less on a DSE competitors website?"

- What are the benefits of fiberglass enclosures vs. wood enclosures.
Fiberglass subwoofer enclosure construction delivers a level of rigidity and dimensional stability not possible with other speaker enclosure materials, allowing wall thickness to be reduced compared to a typical wood subwoofer enclosure. This gives you more interior sub box volume for a given external volume (which means louder, deeper bass in the end.) Fiberglass materials are incredibly strong and can be molded into very complex shapes which provide aesthetically pleasing results. The flexibility of shapes permitted by this type of construction gives us the ability to design a Dynamic Subwoofer Enclosure to fit perfectly into tight spots so as to minimize intrusion into your vehicle's useful space and maximize visual aesthetics.
