I had magicman build me some boxes for $100 for both boxes. So about a couple of weeks later I went to cartoys, and showed them my boxes and asked how much would i cost for yall to make those boxes for my friends truck, and the box builder at cartoys said $350 a box. I asked why it cost so much, he said they use "speical MDF wood" it isnt that special becuase my friend josh aka whosyodaddy36 on the froum he got his box from cartoys and it was the same wood as mine on my boxes. WTF cartoys come on!

All shops charge that much most are honest and say its labor but there full of shit should have just told you the truth. BTW I have Phoenix Gold Tantrum 1200.1 that was bench tested @ just ender 1600watts @ 2 ohms if your interested.

There's a difference between having someone build you a box, and having a shop build you a box. The shop not only needs to figure in profit, they also have to figure in overhead including rent, salaries, equipment, insurance, etc...

$350 sounds about right for a simple enclosure from a shop.

350 bucks is quite a bit actually....since you failed to mention on what kind of box it was (sealed, ported) and also for what size subs and quantity. I got a box built from a local car audio place for 2 15w3's sealed for 200 bucks. BTW, this topic needs to be moved to either subwoofer section or enclosure/design area.
