Anecdotal? You decide.
The only remaining item needed was a subwoofer in the back-hatch area of my 2-door sports car.
Every bit of audio, in that car, was as hi-end as anything manufactured at the time (beyond competition-grade) that was available.
It was never designed and built with the "bust your ear-drums and drop all your fillings" intent or to win trophies.
With Sony 'employee purchase discount' (@50%), the electronics included a head-end unit, a separate DSP/EQ/SPDIF, amps, x-overs.... all in shiny copper enclosures.
When finished, I realized that I had ignored the need for a sub because I had not found any suitable sub with my limited room in the back of the 2-seats.
I only designed the sub (using CAD) w/the limitation of the car's and enclosure's volume+size, speaker parameters... as any engineer would do.
Then, I outsourced the manufacturing task of the (60-pound) sub to a friend who ... ummmm... enjoys woodworking... as any Project Manager would do.
Moral of the Story: Rome was NOT built in a day and certainly NOT by a single person!

TL&DR: You know what I did instead of a DIY sub, w/my own BS&T?That is not the only option though.
