If you want it, you will have to build it. Every woofer needs a different sized enclosure and port. Aligning the set up correctly is crucial, or it will suck big time. There are lots of threads on this forum about building your own subs.

A proper glossy finish takes time to achieve. It requires lots of sanding and filling to make sure the surface is absolutely smooth, painting, sanding, painting again, sanding again, painting again, wet sanding, clearcoating, wet sanding, clear coating again, and then a final polish. Pretty enclosures take time, cost money and are not cheap. Bulding yourself would be the most economical.

Parts for the actual enclosure usually run about $40-$50 if you have all of the tools necessary.

Materials for finishing an enclosure (to a proper glossy/mirror finish) will be at least that & probably more depending upon the type of paint used. The time is the biggest part. High quality finishes cannot be rushed. They need to be applied properly too with a good sprayer & wet sander.

If you think the plastic trim on a Samsung TV is pretty, then I think you need to further your fine arts education. Heaven help our civilization.
