If you have the skill, absolutely build one for 2 reasons. First, its way cheaper. And second, you can create ideal space for your subwoofer to perform optimally.

yup he said it.

if you want a custom one and have them time and skills its the best results to build it yourself. sheets of 3/4" MDF run about 25 bucks round here

Building a box is the least expensive route.

Atrend b-series for 04-08 S-Cab/Crew, $55 shipped, Amazon.

Not quite as cheap as building one, but less of a hassle and I didn't have to tools to do it anyway. Works great stuffed with an Image Dynamics ID10

With that right there, just buy one. You will save yourself a lot of hassle. Sometimes time vs effort is more expensive then the product youd buy.

the airspace you need will be determined by the sub or subs you want to put in it. MDF is one of the best materials to use for it
