[QUOTE="spltuscon, post: 6967831, member: 611863"] I would agree that shops overcharge since most of them don't even know what they're doing. $20+ for a design only seems high because there are people on here that do it dirt cheap and who knows how qualified they are to even charge anything...the fact that about 95% of car audio market spends a lot on equipment and throws it in a poorly designed and/or built enclosure is sad. It's pretty simple, the box is incredibly important to the overall performance and is well worth the investment. Personally, I will sell designs but I would much rather build it also since I have no control over the quality of construction when only selling plans. Good designs take time to plan and draw up so obviously you need to pay for an experts time and knowledge. Box calculators are good for an average person with an average install, but beyond that there is way more involved that requires testing and experience. [/QUOTE]
